Spooky...
Reading this thread is a bit spooky, having grown up in the south lakes myself and moved to Essex. I have spent many happy hours gliding from Wormingford (but not recently so can't comment about members having an argument), I have also flown a Capstan at Walney a couple of times.
If you do fly from Earls Colne, try not to land at Wormingford by mistake, wouldn't be the first time!
I can't comment on either of the flying clubs, but both left me with a good impression when I popped in to enquire about flying lessons. I would be interested to know how you get on as these are the two clubs I would be most likely to use if I ever get round to flying lessons...
