May go flying on Monday for the first time in a couple of months. Need a destination suggestion.

Requirements:

    Not in my logbook
    Approx 1hr from White Waltham
    Worth visiting - nice cafe or pub or reasonably interesting/pleasant
    Minimum 500m tarmac or 750m grass

Now I know you can't know on the first point, but perhaps that'll make for a silly guessing game.

As Im a Total Aviation Person, I would choose an aviation destination, so something along the lines of Duxford or Shuttleworth. In fact other than these two which are well known, where else would be a good TAP destination?

Duxford is already in my logbook a million times.

Shuttleworth probably too short.

Dunkeswell, Henstridge, Compton Abbas and Old Sarum are already in my logbook.

I would have to see whether the extension to 1000m was available.


Ah, I see. Sadly I don't think they open the extension to visitors, only used on display days for the Spits and larger stuff! Shame cause it's worth a visit, fabulous place.
