There's a microlite strip. / club nearby, I just wondered whether anyone had any good take of / landing fields nearby as I'd really fancy a early evening trip along Thë coast Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Slapper is the one to contact about the microlight club. Andy Walkden (flyschool.co.uk) is probably your best bet next time you are up there as his training field is only 10 minutes flight to the coast. Its a brilliant place to fly but we've been keeping a low profile after a complaint by the coastguard - we might have put some grains of sand in danger ....

macey2kk Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks fellas, Il give andy a shout... Really fancy a late afternoon beach run... But not if il get a roasting! Although if 500ft I doubt they can do anything... And you never know when you may develop engine problems and need to get down to land on the beach.. Oh it's gone right again, no it hasn't, yes it has Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapper Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Should have a take off field right next to microlight club in next few weeks, when farmer cuts the hay. Also need to watch out for Altcar rifle range, they shoot out to sea across the beach at times, (at least you won't have to fake the Landings) Will put post on when field is available and your welcome to join us.
