OK, so went to Bembridge on Saturday -- it was great. The Vectis Gliding club returned my telephone call about PPR within 5 minutes. I flew down in my RV6 from Biggin, the radio calls were simple, I called the aircraft in the circuit in front of me to ask if they would be backtracking or going to the end and taxiing around on the grass. Landed, walked across the runway to the gliding club caravan, paid my £10 landing fee, then walked for 20 minutes to Whitecliffe beach. It was so nice to go back again after thinking it was going to be closed forever. Just remember that more sensible airmanship is required, as no real ATC and the westerly runway is often backtracked to the parking area, so you have to space your circuit accordingly.
