Well I spoke to Cark today, who are happy for me to visit, obviously with PPR and as long as I give them a call before start, and before inbound, to deconflict with paradropping.
I will arrange fuel with either Blackpool or Carlisle depending on where my local sorties from Cark take me - I'd imagine I'll be up and around the lakes, so Carlisle may turn out more convenient.
FYI, Cark's strip is 500m of hard runway, with 200m either end of rough ground, which could be used for taxy if required.
It's just negotiating the Manchester LLR which I have got to look forward to now! Anybody have any experience of how busy it is nowadays? There are a few threads on here, but nothing particularly recent.
Thanks all,
E
