It's still a fair bit from the mountains.
Our dear, late friend and clubmate Stevie Cliff held a PPL and a part share in a light aircraft which he often landed on the Earl of Lonsdale's private airstrip at Lowther Castle, near to the Cliff residence at Shap. I guess that "trumps" anyone taking a commercial flight into or out of CLA.
I know of at least a couple of people who have flown in for the Jura race.
You have to be a little careful about where you put your tent. I saw someone get very alarmed in a campervan one year that was 20 yards beyond the end of the (not very obvious) landing strip.Quote:
