Weekend of 2nd/3rd December.
Planning a trip away on the Saturday with a friend, overnight somewhere, back on the Sunday. Base is EGLM.
Plan A is Dinard and get a taxi into St Malo.
Weather being what it is, I would like alternatives in different directions (i.e. one west, one north) in case a VFR channel crossing looks unlikely on the day.
Any ideas?
Criteria:
- no more than 2hrs away at 110kts
- minimum 700m runway
- sensible (below £50) landing fees
- hotel/pub/other accom within a fairly short-to-medium taxi ride
- accom needs to be 'nice' in some way, i.e. a pub or a slightly interesting hotel, not being snobby about quality but more a desire to avoid blandness - don't want a Travelodge on a business park
- some reason to go there - a good restaurant, a good night out, interesting sights to see, just something....
