Hi all,

Been a busy time this new year, and as things would have it, this coming new Moon the forecast is, well, crap. Peter and I are looking now at heading up to the Airfield this Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Short notice, sorry, but nothing that could be done.

Access to the Airfield is via Medlow Bath. Head into Station Street and hang a left onto Rutland (also called Grand Canyon Rd). The Airfield is 4km from this intersection, with the last 3km being unsealed, and can have errosion damage. On entering the Airfield, turn left at the entrance and head past the "No Entry" sign, and turn right at the buildings to the main runway. We use the concrete slab on the left just before the runway proper. The picture below will help with the route through to the set up slab.

We are welcome to stay overnight as there is plenty of space in the office building.

The Airfield is a total BYO situation: your own power, food, water, etc. There are loos for the ladies and kids.

I am looking to get there before sunset, and maybe head for dinner at The Grand Olive pizza shop in Wentworth Falls before hitting the runway.

NOTICE: If you are considering coming up, please keep in tune with the current bush fire warnings. The situation up in the Blue Mountains is grave with the coming forecast of high temperatures. The final word of yea or ney depends on this.
