MikeDaBike Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi All, I am a regular flyer at Burton Dassett (SW N-NE) and Edge Hill (NW). Are there any slopes in my vicinity (+/- 30 miles) which would cover easterly winds (SE & E) that anyone knows ? Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'd even stretch to +/- 40 miles on days like this ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopeflyer Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Long mynd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I was hoping for somewhere a little closer but thanks for that. I'll put that down for future day visits. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satinet Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Ivinghoe has a SE slope, but it is about 50 miles away. I haven't flown the SE though, so I can't comment if it is any good.Might be closer to you depending on where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopeflyer Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Also early on a sat/sun am the traffic is a doddle up the m6. I've done Mynd in 1hr. I have the asw 20 to maiden so let's look for a nice westerly and take a trip. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinet Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Mike it really depends on where you live relative to Burton Dassett. If you are north or near coventry it isn't that far to the long mynd as Jim says. Otherwise you might want to look elsewhere. It looks like the end of the South Easters is on the way though.

isoaritfirst Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nowhere up the Mynd is good for an Easterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm up for anywhere at the moment ; unfortunately work rears it's ugly head this week but up for any trip this coming weekend. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 And Rugby is about 15 miles east of Coventry btw. After this last weekend, I'm after an e-soarer/warmliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinet Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 looks like it's back to westerlies next weekend. The long mynd is a good option - the west slope is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
