Makes me wonder what will happen in our neck of woods we fly regulary over what is to be the mountain bike coarse, is that going to become a no fly zone whilst Lord Seb Coe's money making scheme so called Olympics takes place.

looks like Barling is just outside the zone and as long as you head north you will be fine, have you seen the plans for how they are going to get traffic to the mountain bike course? take a look, you will laugh your socks off.

Because of this, I'm basically going to have to shut down teaching for 2 months next summer.

So...I'm going to get married during that time and go on honeymoon!

Congratulations Steve, all the best for the event

On the topic of training is there any form of compensation for lost earnings due to circumstances forced upon you?

In the foot and mouth outbreak 10 years ago my instructor received quite a sum.

Cheers,

Look like it's in operation for 6 weeks.

You can fly as long as you file a flightplan two hours before flight.

I'm sure there's going to be lots of discussion about this.

Looks like our site at Barling is just inside it Neilzy? you only need to file a flight plan if we are leaving the site though i think. just doing circuits is ok?
