Re: Southampton

Hello There,
For details of Lower Upham see http://www.lowerupham.com/contact.htm

Yes there are pylons at the 04 approach end (400m from the threshold, and they are 150ft high), but it's "do-able" in a PA28, as the strip is 648m long and if you do land on 04, the first 300m are uphill. The 22 end is relatively obstacle free.

It is however a bit damp at mo, so Popham maybe a better bet.

(I think BRL came to see us at our open day last August Bank Hol.... we're having another one this year on the second w/e in September, all welcome)
