I’m organising a little get together with another Essex flyer and a friend next Sunday (weather permitting) at either Wat Tyler park or Two Tree Island if you fancy it.

Hi @Johnscrivy

How do you get on flying at Battlesbridge?
I’ve visited lots of tims and would love to get a drove up over the mill and river etc.
Have you ever encountered any resistance?

Cheers
