Hello, from Lichfield area - Staffordshire

It is totally wheelchair friendly as we fly from the car. I totally understand, my wife was in a wheelchair for 8 years and was told she would not walk, so her mobility is with pain so our meets are where there is limited walking and being able to sit in the car if needed. You can literally get out of your vehicle and sit next to it if you like and fly from there. Any problems we are there for you and understand. As for toilets if needed there is an Asda down the road so that is wheelchair friendly with toilets for wheelchair users.

Very useful info, many thanks. I’m grateful that you are arranging one so soon after Sunday, because my wife was surprised that I didn’t make the effort to be there.

Not a problem mate. Does your wife fly?

No, not yet! But she does get the drone to and from the TOAL’s when I need to.
And gets my chair out the car too. I manage short,smooth surfaces with crutches, so I may not need it at Bar Beacon. But from your photos, I thought it would be useful to be on the grassy bits - if I don’t need to be getting out of the way of a drone!

Well we are there to also assist with you if you need any help. Not a problem at all. Just ask away. I have an agreement with my wife. She does things on her own on the condition that she tells me if she needs help. So if you need us. Please ask.
