I also have child who lives with mother near Cromer, maybe we should start an airline?
But seriously, I do the trip from the SE regularly, and agree it's a bind, but I have access to several aeroplanes that can land there (nearest strip is 3 mins away) and choose to drive. I have flown up there once and by the time you drive to your airfield, get the aeroplane out of the hangar, fly there, secure it, get a lift to house etc etc, it's just as quick to drive.
