Weather permitting, the girlfriend and I are hoping to go on a little flying tour over Easter.
The vague plan at the moment is to leave my home field (Denham) on Good Friday and head to Bembridge for lunch (or an overnight at the Crab & Lobster).
Then down to Exeter to stay in a nice hotel I know down there and do some horse-riding.
Its really the next bit that I'm short of ideas on.
I was hoping to go somewhere else in the SW (Lands End perhaps - but the runway length looks a bit short and I've not had much experience on grass!!)
I wanted then to head up to Shobdon to see family, then Wellesbourne Mountford as I guess that's the airfield closest to Stratford to see some Shakespeare.
Then home to Denham!
So does anyone have any thoughts for the SW? Or indeed any tips at all? It will be my first time touring. I don't want to do too too much flying, but given the minimum hours requirement of the club planes, I feel I should get my money's worth.
I'm presuming I'm going to have to be very flexible given the vagaries of our weather.
:cool: :cool:
