Edgehill/Shenington

I've flown into Shenington a couple of times in a 172 (I glide out of there as well).

The thing to remember is that it is a gliding site:
- No ground radio (usually)
- Circuits in any direction
- Landings may not be on runway used for launches
- Gliders can't "go round" if you get in their way
- Winch cables may be encountered up to 1500agl

The other thing is that there a couple of noise sensitive areas (no overflight below 1500agl):
- Shenington village
- Upton House
- The other one is just to the West of the airfield

That said its a really friendly place and I've never heard of anyone paying a landing fee.
