Some nice low departures from the visitors and home team alike. How busy was the forest entrance yesterday?

Thanks guys

I agree - Reapers Rule

The forest entrance was very busy again.

Today being a Saturday without local flying I shall arrive later , assuming they go at 14:00, and walk around from the visitor carpark road

It looked extremely busy from where I was stood ( On the lane leading to the car park). Hoping everybody going for the last 6 have a great day.

Cheers
