UPDATE - Six of us on the list so far. Ferries booked !! Any other takers?
Hello everyone.
I am arranging our annual Spring trip to soar the hills and cliffs on the Isle of Wight. The date of our trip will be the Sat 21st May.
We get an early ferry around 8.00 - 8.30am which gets us onto the Island around 9.30 and hopefully meet up with our good friends over there (Chris / Bill).
Fly for the morning then a spot of pub lunch then some more flying in the afternoon, then we jump on an early evening ferry home. It's a full day but just great fun.
The Island offers gentle hills, big hills, small cliffs and huge steep sided chalk cliffs. It has the lot with flying sites for all abilities.
So far we have Ian A, Scott and possibly Graham U (sorry Ian L but the dates just didn't work out for earlier weekends) but the more the merrier.
I do need to know who wants to come along as we need to agree a date and get ferries booked up. Car sharing usually reduces the costs and makes life a lot easier for all who come along.
Currently you would looking to pay around £50 return for a car and up to 4 passengers. You have the ability to book using a flexible ticket that costs about £10 more but you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance and only lose £5 admin fee, so if the weather turns out to be rubbish then worse case it costs you a fiver. What have you got top lose?
Please let me know if you want to join in on our Spring Island trip?

I can only do the 21st Paul. I would highly recommend it, we had great fun last year and is something for all abilities so don't be put off because it's cliffs!
