Norfolk/Suffolk Strip Flying Weekend: Now 25-27 August

by **Flyin'Dutch'** » Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:09 pm

We visited Great Massingham today; nice strip with good tarmac, great pub with B&B a short 15 mins away.

Highly recommended.

Lunch great but not quick.

Will consider Great Massingham on that recommendation. Is that 15 minutes walk or by car?

by **Pete S** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 11:31 pm

Walk.

I'd love to come along for this, especially to visit the venues not yet visited, but it's a busy weekend with conflicting and prior engagements.

Maybe another time...

At this stage I haven't considered such things as PPR. There are also a couple of other possible stops that I am still investigating, so this isn't a firm itinerary, it will almost certainly get modified as the weekend approaches.

SATURDAY
Meet at Conington (987m) for LUNCH.
Fenland (670m)
Marshland (850m)
Priory Farm (550m) - OVERNIGHT

SUNDAY
Priory Farm
Beccles (750m)
Scenic route along the coast to Weybourne (617m) - Visit to Muckleburgh Tank Museum
Burnham (510m)
Shipdham (862m)
Cromer (615m) - OVERNIGHT

MONDAY
Cromer
Seething (800m)
Elmsett (890m)
Sackville Farm (730m) - Depart for home

Looks good to me S&L. So who's coming then?

You'd be welcome to join us for just a bit of the weekend, or dip in and out, if you can't do it all. We are an understanding bunch :eye:

There is a chance I may be in the UK the same weekend, possibly at Beccles on Sunday morning.

If someone could pm me with a mobile number I can check your ETA; I won't have time to join you for the trips but it would great to finally meet some forumites in person over a tea/coffee.

Wonder if we could squeeze in a visit to the Boston Crop Sprayer' fly-in 4th/5th August 2012?

by **Straight'n'Level** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 7:12 pm

Why not - it's only a short hop across the Wash

by **Straight'n'Level** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 8:24 pm

Boston is now the first destination instead of Conington.

We will re-jig Sunday pm and miss Shipdham, following advice about prop strikes (possible visit to Great Massingham instead).

Avgas supplies are plentiful at Priory Farm International.
Have some details of B&Bs in locality, able to assist with shuttle service.
