Bodmin aeros

Stik -

Old Sarum & Compton Abbas are lovely friendly places, with good food, too.
You'll know Poham and its approaches, after the recent jolly there...

For Old Sarum - Boscombe Down/Middle Wallop usually inactive at week-ends but probably active on Friday so give Boscombe Zone a call, and approach Old Sarum via Aldebury vrp, 800 ft on Boscombe QFE. (See Pooleys)

Compton Abbas easiest to see from the North (Shaftesbury) side. Craftilly hidden by a belt of trees on the S side. White flashing beacon on the field.

Boscombe and Yeovilton ATC are efficient and helpful. Talk to them, let them know what that particular green ant on their vdu is.

For the rest of the way, try Aldebury vrp direct Okehampton town (just N of D011) direct Bodmin.

For your return, you could try Okehampton > Bridgewater > Severn Bridges (Bristol usually let you follow the motorway at under 1500ft their QFE)

Welcome to the West Country. Enjoy the aeros!
