I believe the gliding site is now disbanded, and there is no sign of it when looking at the exact grid reference on Google Maps.
I am tempted by Cark, it will be in a Robin DR400, so I need to check the short field performance figures, but I think I should be alright. I flew in there in a DA40 last year and I must admit it felt a bit tight.
I will call Barrow first though, if I can fly there it would be much easier, and there is tonnes of runway!
I would love to see the look on the hotel guests faces as I taxi into the car park, but I think it's just too far out of the way for me.
What is Blackpool like to operate from? I have their landing charges sheet - do they charge the pasenger fee for everybody? What if I just stop for fuel, is it just the landing fee and then fuel I'd have to pay for? I need to give them a ring, but if you have any more details it'd be appreciated.
Many thanks
