Ledbury

Has anyone flown into Ledbury near Gloucester. I am hopefully flying into there tomorrow weather permitting in an Arrow. Will it be nice smooth suitable grass as I am led to believe.

I have been into Ledbury in the Bonanza and its a really nice strip, you wont have any worries:ok:

Thanks for that. Was going in a hired Arrow not my own Bonanza unfortunately as the CAA wont let me use it at the moment but didnt go anyway as weather was very wet and chose to take the car. Glad I did as it lashed it down like I have never seen on the way down.

Will try again another time.

I took an Arrow in there ( 2 up) May 2002. As cbl says, a nice strip. Couple of things I recall:

1 Its a reasonable width but I don't think there is turning part, so you need to use all the width to do a 180 and there are crops at the side.

2 There is very little parking and what exists was is in front of the Hangar, so I was concerned that if I left the aircraft there, it could be an inconvenience. In the event, we hung around.
