I'll definitely be up for this one and will bring the missus too.

I love Snowdonia. It's one of my favourite places and I have been meaning to take a ride around the mountains since I started flying.

This could be an amazing fly-in if the weather is nice!

Provisional date: 30 April

This is the weekend after easter.

Lots of people have other plans for easter weekend with the family etc.

(earning brownie points for the following weekend :wink: )

Pencil it in your diary.

This is assuming I square it with the landowner who i will visit in the coming weeks.

Just looked in diary and that weekend is a long one too cos monday is may day....

Meds is that were the flying leek, pete jones flphg & and his ppg mates fly.they have some nice feilds in north wales i could email him as a back up place just incase,if you want.

Normally they ask for a £100 or so.

there is also the cost of a porta loo or similar brand of mobile toilet (normally £100)

So if you aim off to recover a couple of hundred quids.... I would say that would be a safe bet :-)

Expect to pay a tenner or so to cover any costs. (hence the vote)

SW :D

Also, although a little early I know......

Would be a good idea to put a NOTAM in knowing the area and what happens in it's airspace. :-)

Just a heads up for the future.

If you need any help, just ask Pete B who is old hat at this fly-in stuff :-)

SW :D

PS,

I am loving that another member (or two) has jumped in to arrange a PMC fly-in. I am sure with a few more keen people we could double the number of fly-ins we have each year with ease.

There is no harm in filling the calender early, so if you want one at your place, get the conversations going now :-)

I am working on somewhere special for the main summer fly-in which we will have to have in June due to Australia 2011 commitments.

www.australia2011.com for anyone who has been asleep for the last year or so :-)

SW :D

unreadable.

Also, I think it is more likely to be 30+ people using historical numbers.

SW :D
