Well Steve, you know: badges are important. Unfortunately the Rhossili one, the Swiss roll at Premier store, wasn't available, so I swapped it with a similar one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookman Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I hope you have been able to get some good flying in between sampling all the culinary delights that the UK is rightly famed for. Italian ice cream and danish pastries etc, etc.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today and tomorrow should be good to have another couple. But most important I met several pilots I knew in my past travels to UK and had a great time with lot of nice people and skilled pilots. Oh, and tons of pictures and videos... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiloschista Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 By the way, the last evening I went to Il Vecchio in Bridgend. Wow, I was really surprised about quality. Great, real tasting lasagne, served without French fries; a real, original babba and, surprise, a real Neapolitan espresso. So if someone next in Bridgend would like to feel the Italian atmosphere and taste, I could only suggest it 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiloschista Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hello, instead starting a new one, I resurrect this old thread. My hopes are to fly a bit more than last time on Lundy, and Bwlch was not a lot better. I know this year is going to be a great year, so I would plan another week after Lundy. Options are a week (Mon 11.9 to Mon 18.9) in Bridgend and go fly on Bwlch or to go near Brighton and fly there, with some bath as an alternative. Which one of those options is more promising? Other options or suggestions? Last time Rhossili's dream was ruined by a mass of paragliders, so I think I will avoid it this year. Yes I know, there is the Welsh open... Ric P.s.: Bridgend plus are the restaurant Il vecchio and Bwlch ice cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 There’s lots of options on the South Downs between wales and Brighton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
