BARCS forumite Rhossili get-together / fly-in - Sat 21st April

[cliffhanger]

Depends what you call a long walk.

The "standard" way would be to park in the old Norman church carpark (free/money in church upkeep box) on the right as you enter Rhossili village.Then climb up the South side of the Down to the top. Short but rather sharp.

There is another way from the back of the Down. Longer but more gradual maybe 3/4 mile.

Not quite as bad as walking around to the Bwlch Crest in an Easterly.

21st is good for me and SWMBO too, so it will be good to put faces to a few more Forumite names

We will make a week of it and book the caravan in to a local(ish) site. So plenty of room for models.

I can make that Might bring a few of the Herefordshire Reprobates down with me as well.They'll probably not to TOO much damage to the local tourism trade as long as we keep them out of public view :)

Best no take any big stuff...........theres not going to be enough ground space to park it ..... :D

[slopeflyer]

Indeed, plus it's a hard slog to the top with anything over 2m.

[satinet]

Just no one take any foam it will be fine! ;)

[isoaritfirst]

Personally I don't think I would take anything but foam.

You can of course launch off the rocks by the carpark and fly up.

[SmarTmartY]

So would a SAS Wildthing, Venom, and a M60 be suitable foam to bring?Hmm now who can I get to come with me, assuming us from oop norf are welcome too? Lol.

You're probably right.

[Keith B]

is there an issue with taking mouldies up there then?

[slopeflyer]

Ok. Foam only then. I'd best get some.

No, it's not that. It's just if you get a load of people together you tend to get a load of foamies filling the sky making it difficult to fly non foam models (without fear of them being hit).

Although I understand it's a pretty big ridge.

I think its more of a general thing when you have a fly in with lots of people with different skill levels and types of models there can be lots of traffic. Personally I will be taking a bit of everything and fly whats most sutible.

[Andy_B]

it is somthin we can try and sort out before the day .......I wont be karting big lumps of glass up that hill if I think theres not an opportunity to fly it ........justa thought .....

[slopeflyer]

Andy, the other option to take your biggest toy and fly over the foam. Anyone fancy carting my vortex up and down for beer tokens?
