Any strips near Newton Abbot, Devon?
 
Need to get there and nearest I can find is Exeter Airport. Does the team know anywhere closer (cheaper)?

The microlight airfield at Halwell seems probably the closest - 480m grass.

The LAA Devon Strut site is good for strips out West.

Thanks Dave
 
Halwell was good idea, but I don't qualify as restricted to permit a/c 100hp or less. And it's probably longer by road than Exeter to Newton Abbot. The strut guide suggests Exeter works best, ho hum........

But good steer, thanks!

Bolt Head Airfield, near Salcombe.

I looked for something similar a couple of years back (exactly same are), there is a curious dearth of options.

There may be some private strips, but I was unable to find anything...

There is surely an opportunity here - it's a real shame there is not somewhere! One of the local gentry must have sufficient land and be eccentric enough to create a strip!
