Leicester has three runways (hard), doesn't have parachuting or pylons and also has a very nice cafe with views of the airfield.
One of Sibson's runways has a 'fold' which nicely launches the aircraft just before take off speed!
Yep you get a great launch off the top of the hill on 24, but only when solo as when dual you can't quite get up to speed by that point, at least not in the Robins.

The runways at Sibson certainly add to the learning experience, which I think is very beneficial as anything else then seems easy in comparison. I had great fun over the weekend dropping on to 06 over the trees - certainly keeps the attention focused!!
