Getting there

Directions Five miles east of Bridgwater on A39 to Glastonbury. After Bawdrip, look for the Toby Inn on the left, immediately after on the left is Pococks Tearooms. Takeoff is through the gate opposite. Parking - 100 yds further on the right is a turning, park on the verge of this road.

Weather

Hazards The dangers of flying in strong conditions are obvious. Be aware of a very busy main road and power cables behind takeoff. Nearest Phone - Take the retrieve/parking road (next right), take first two right turns into the village of Stawell. (Half way through the village on the right.)
