Re: Advice on Manston to Sunderland trip
Peterlee has the tarmac strip specifically to alleviate the drainage problems of this time of year. Check with the locals for lengths, procedures etc. I know the "mown" area is at least 720m x 60m, 30/12 and 30 slopes down appx 1.4%.
Peterlee is closer to EGNU as was, than Fishburn or EGNV. NT is closer again but if you're going to use public transport - have you seen the Man who fell to Earth ? The "metro" is modelled on Tommy's trains. Take a cab from Peterlee. The management are interested in encouraging light aircraft.
Go to Woolsington or Middleton St George if you want radar and a light aircraft boheca experience. Plus Newcastle is 10 -15 mins further on which is a waste of block time.
