yep Cafe at Barton has been up and running for some time now , same people that ran it for LAC only difference is the clubhouse is now leased by RVR . All the old LAC peopel are still kicking about as is the flying school.
David G File a flight plan and a GAR get some lifejackets and fly across the sea to Andreas in the IOM , good experience and takes roughly an hour

Yep come over to sherburn, plenty of runways, so nearly always into wind and a nice cafe. I could meet you for a drink if the timings work-out. Pm me if you want any info about sherburn etc. Dom

Caernarfon, on the NE coast of wales
Which chart are you using? Caernarfon is on the West Coast of Wales - or at least it was when I looked yesterday afternoon.
When I first got the idea of venturing out of the local area I drew half hour circles on my map; so how far you can get in 30, 60, 90 minutes and so on and then - depending on how much time I had available I could pick places that lay within that circle and give it a try.
Just an idea.

Another vote for Tatenhill just for a weekend visit to Margaret's (well, ESFC's) cafe, but I have to admit to being biased.
Also with plenty of runways and a lovely cafe is Halfpenny Green, also known as Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green, formerly Wolverhampton Business Airport, yadda yadda. Very welcoming and a tenner landing fee.
Sleap - also a good selection of runways and again nice facilities. Stays open late (inc fuelling) on Thursdays I believe.
Hope this helps, enjoy your trip(s).
