Whilst our Board of Directors were deliberating over our future, I went for a walk outside our usual boundaries. Many of you will not have done that but it was a beautiful evening, watching the Hares and the Skylarks as I wandered. I’ve added a few photos: On the north side, the field (which looks very narrow) adjacent to the line of trees, is good to land in and has a track to the Maiden Bradley road at the west end. Looking east, from the end of the south gulley, note the steep sides; nothing could land here. From the east end, looking west, the sheep were not impressed! You might survive a landing just before or just after the solitary Ash tree but note the very rough ground at right angles to your approach if you don’t get the spot landing exactly right!!!

Good observations on the valley to our south Phil. I think this should be a required walk for all of our pilots! I wouldn’t want to try to land there.

Too much archaeology there to land without bumps. The name “Dane’s Bottom” for the coombe to the South might have provided the required hint that any attempt to land there would be a bum-steer in any case. ☺
