Anyone been to Davidstow Moor?

[Mr Wolfie]

I've got friends who recently moved nearby and am thinking of giving it a visit. In the AFE 2004 flightguide it seems to suggest it is mainly microlights. Reading betwen the lines (and looking at the half-mil chart), I suspect it is a God-forsaken strip of pot-holed concrete in the middle-of-nowhere.

Anyone been?

PS. I tried a search for "Davidstow" and it came up with the "What's your favourite cheese?" thread on JetBlast.

Not been there for a couple of years, but unless it's improved with age your summary isn't far out.

Also used for grazing sheep all year, locals teach their kids to drive on it, and a public road across the middle.

I went there a couple of years ago. It is a bit broken but the club try and keep one runway in use and relatively stone free.

I'm local and everybody down here says don't go if you want to keep your prop in decent condition. I haven't been myself.

On second thoughts, perhaps I'll give it a miss then...

Thanks for your comments.

P.S Genghis said ..... "Unless its improved with age...." Is the runway really made of out of mature cheddar then?
