PeterB Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Anyone planning to fly tomorrow (Sat 22nd)? Met Office website predicts winds to be low in the morning, but a bit gusty in the afternoon. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Pete B and I will be there I should think. Assuming the weather plays ball. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well, I'm planning to get the train down to Hereford today after work with all my kit, stay with a friend tonight and fly back to Manchester tomorrow at 6am!!!! It will be my biggest XC so far at approximately 100 miles but I'm looking forward to it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Good luck with the long XC flight! Where do you take off from in Hereford? I have flown from a grass strip near Belmont, and from Westhope Common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm taking off just north of Hereford near Shobdon Aerodrome. My mate has a farm there. I have been wanting to do this for a while but have been cautious of flying near the MATZ at Shawbury. Obviously it won't be in operation tomorrow and the weather looks perfect for it. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Of course you can come for training A NOTE TO ALL THOUGH, I recon it will be gusty by 11:00 at the latest so expect it to be a short days training, if its not then thats a bonus SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Simon Any news on the location, or is it a quick phone call in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Arse, I forgot to ask... I can call in the morning though So assume its the flag pole. Although the main field behind the flag pole has been cut, please do not drive on it. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
