e2vdavidb Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi all, Friday and Sunday are looking like a good chance for flying at least next Oxford. Can anyone please give me a pointer to a open flying site near South Oxford. The Cowley location looks good but struggling to get any hard contact for permission and don't want to chance it and bigger up someones field.

e2vdavidb Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Not feeling the fellow flyer bonding, I was hoping to get some flying in and seems no one around Oxford want to share a flight site with a fellow flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrsfrwll Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is there a contact number? Quite fancy that idea as I'm free tomorrow Edit - actually scratch that, think I'll go north, looking at the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Manager good tact the local rugby pub facilities manager who was super friendly. As long as I register and give contact info, I assume in the case of a problem, he was ok for me to use their well groomed field. Around 3pm I did so in some gusty and lumpy conditions but still a great location and good to get aloft. If your looking North where and how far?

alan_k Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Good result, there is a flyer fairly local who has done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2vdavidb Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thanks Tony, am around Davidstow following weekend although long term forecast does not look so great but still time for that to change! Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Managed a fly today. Fairly windy and hit some rotor off the bouncy hedge on final but no real problems, on my feet just could have been cleaner. Now waiting on a delivery of Motol 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Next weather window perfectly timed to hit the new Covid lock down I guess probability of flying again this year is now over. Lets hope the Covid fuse works. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
