tight touring
 

This may be a silly question but are there any ( many ) GA fields that allow you to stick up a tent overnight, ( I am that tight ) here in the UK or in Ireland. I would like to plan a 7 day tour this summer but cant seem to find much info other than blind calling.

There was an article on exactly this topic in last month's pilot. One of the regular contributors did a mini tour with his wife, tent and Piper Cub.

IIRC people were a bit taken aback by his request but nobody said no and indeed were really very helpful. They were mainly worried how he'd manage with very few facilities. He didn't have a stove - can't remember if that was a blanket ban on naked flames on the airfields or just because he couldn't legally fly with the fuel on board - so no cooking and hot water for tea and washing has to come from a thermos.
