You may have seen my other thread over in the 'Health Matters' section. Recently been diagnosed with epilepsy after suffering a few seizures - now on medication and part way through 12 months off driving which sucks!

Means my new 335d is sat on my drive and my fireblade in my garage! :-(

I'm trying to see if it's feasible to find some private land or a small airfield on which I could do some driving and riding to help me survive the year off!

I've read about people using Langar airfield? I'm all for contacting the owners of said private land to ask for their permission and would NOT consider trespassing.

Also happy to hire somewhere out if that's even possible?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Cheers

I'm involved in the Sky Diving operation at Langar, or more specifically operating the aeroplanes that drop the jumpers, and would caution against going there. The owners will generally say no anyway but irrespective of that the surface condition is not good, we have to be relatively careful operating aircraft off the remaining runways and the areas you would potentially gain access to are in much worse condition, I have a Westfield and wouldn't dream of running it there.
Sorry for the negative input and lack of alternative suggestion!
