Finally I am running two dawn flights a month till the end of March on Sunday mornings.

January the 8th event was quite quiet with only 500 pinks and about 50 barnies but is lovely to get out at that time of the morning and get the atmosphere of the bay.

To book for this event please ring 01988 402130.
