ArcusFlyer Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I know meds and others have flown there from his field but its at least a 1/2 hour flight to get there I'd say. I'm always really keen to try out new fields in the area, is your stoke one north or south of stoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdoc Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Guys, I think I mostly just wanted to try the new emoticons. That was me for the first two forward launch tries at a new field near Ashcroft Airfield South of Winsford. This was me when I finally tried a Reverse, which I have never succeeded in before. Gave it a few practice goes with the motor off and it was doing well. So I just switched the motor on. Did it again eh Voila' airborne! I have chatted to the farmer and he is willing for a few of us to have a go at £5 per head per day which sounded OK to me. It is currently used by microlights so has a long southerly 'grass strip runway' but the main field is plenty wide enough now that the grass has just been cut. I think this will be a great site if we don't p*** off the neighbours. PM me if you're interested and I will try to get together a small group on the next flyable day. One more for luck. Hey look formation flying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Doc, Let me know when you're planning to give this field a go. Do you think the microlighters would be OK with it? Have PMed you my mobile number in case you dont already have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
