Ahhhhh Perranporth

I did the two duration flights for my Bronze C there years ago. The second of which was a magical flight at dusk in a K6CR riding the ridge. I could have stayed up for hours but was eventually called down by a club member who drove onto the runway and flashed his lights. I hadn't realised how dark it was at ground level as I'd been basking in a fabulous copper coloured sunset and was mesmerised by the panoramic veiws of the Cornish peninsular spread below in long shadows. Truly one of my most memorable flights ever!

As for best GA fields? Well I've only really been around the south. Compton and Popham are always good. IOW fields are great but being so near seems like cheating. Bodmin is also very nice, but for me ... a nice private strip that I've been invited to is always the best ... but it's been too long. Can't wait to get the T31m cleared for flight so I can start exploring again
