Additional notes:
We are having a meet up on Barr Beacon (3rd Sunday on the trott) but as we are busy for the next few weeks we have now idea what the weather will be like so let's do it once again just in case.
We will be there for 10am If you get there any earlier we always park in front of the blue binoculars (unless some dog walker has jumped in our space). Please note on the map where we are as we are in the north car park. If the gate you are about to enter is directly at a road junction then this is the wrong gate. With the road and entrance on your right continue to drive till you see the traffic lights ahead of you. It is the gates on your right before the traffic lights. There is a height restriction of 2.67m / 8.9ft use the left lane to avoid tyre damage as there are two lanes, one in and one out and if the road bends to the left then that is the correct one. This is a great location for people who have any mobility issues as you can fly from your car and should it rain then you can sit in your car until it stops. There are no toilets on site but there is a pub (The Foley Arms) a short drive. There is also an Asda that is also a short drive with toilets and a pub called the Cat And Fiddle close by. It is a nice open space high up. Great views.
Please also note that during this meet we will once again be monitoring this thread so if you can not find us, send a message to us here and we will reply. If you are over the other side we will have a fly over and see where you are.
If you have a remote control car, bring it along as it is also a great place to drive one. Just avoid the parked van (no names mentioned). There are long straights for the RC Car, there is also an open area to drive, there is also a place for a bit of RC off roading.
Thanks to the support for people coming to our meets. It is great when we see each car turn up. Do not forget to come and see me so we can check you in. If we have printed a card for you please bring it. If we have not then come and ask us for one to be printed.
Looking forward to seeing the regulars and any new ones.
New to drones… we have enough members usually turning up to get advice from
Until then, see you Sunday.
Tagging regional group @group-westmidlands to let you all know ![]()
