Thumbs up to Hull and Fenland
This weekend was my first proper trip since passing my PPL back in March. A few of us from Northumbria Flying School few to Southend for the weekend and stopped off at Hull and Fenland en route.
Both clubs were very welcoming and provided excellent services. (The club sandwich at Fenland is astoundingly good!).
If there is anybody on here from either of those clubs, cheers guys

I'll second Fenland as a good re-fuel / stopping off point. Over recent years it has become my preferred point to break a journey. Quick and easy, helpful and pretty decent food. What more could you need?

Yes Gertrude, Fenland was a bit of a bugger to find!
I think the NDB has gone now, so it's pretty well GPS or nothing

Both airfields have been very welcoming when I have visited them in the past.
I remember arriving at Fenland during a fly-in and looking back when on finals to see several aircraft all lining up behind. It was like being at Heathrow, only nicer. ahhh memories.

We always get a nice welcome at Fenland. I particularly like the self-service fuel pumps. That has to be a good investment for a busy airfield.
The girl who runs the catering had made some great cakes and biscuits which proved very popular with my table hoover when I took some home. Club sandwich was brill, if a tad substantial!
Fenland is easy to spot at this time of year cos all the other fields are brown.
