Runways or grass strips near Clitheroe
 

Hi Everybody,

first post , long time lurker , just wanted to start by thanking the day to day posters for their invaluable advice and comments over the years , good work all round I say.

I'm thinking of going to Clitheroe in Lancashire for the Beatherder festival this weekend and I was wondering what is the closest runway to the festival ?

thanks in Advance,

Fionn

EIWT - Weston , Dublin, Ireland.

Blackpool is the nearest, unless you're coming over in a microlight. Should be possible to get a train from just down the road to Clitheroe from there.

thank you so much , that's a pint I owe ya

Safe Skies,
Fionn

Theres always Hoghton.Not too far from Clitheroe.

Hoghton / Higher Barn Farm Airfield

And if you take out a mortgage first, Leeds Bradford is not all that far away....

Is Samlesbury out of use? Seems to be a couple of gliders on the ground here

Sadly, yes. It closed last year.

There is, of course, the gliding site at Chipping. Not sure if they will accept powered aircraft. www.bfgc.co.uk
