Anyone know if the airstrip is available outside of horse trials weekends ? Been ringing the numbers on the site but no answer!

Pooleys gives three numbers. Which one are you trying ? I’ve only ever been in for the trials but understood it to be available at other times.

And was it a positive result ?

Here’s hoping that the horse trials will return this year. Always a great day out.

Especially the buts where you fly in, and out, over the traffic jams!

Seems a bit unfair to me. Horses have no sense of right and wrong.


Though donkeys have a sense of humour when it comes to dogs getting zapped on an electric fence.

They used to have an annual fly-in but it got a little out of control with some pretty dodgy flying and a few accidents - so they stopped it.

Unfortunately an Ikarus C42 isnt allowed to PPR as its a microlight. Apparently some microlight muppet said something nasty to her ladyship, and she placed a ban on all microlights.

Its annoying as its one of the few we havnt been able to visit in our local area :pale:
