Wootton Marsh Flying Field

 

You will be glad to learn that this is not a marshy, boggy site but a really nice open location with no major obstacles to fly into! So this is the ideal place for learning and honing your flying skills. Training is provided on Tuesday nights from May 1st until end of September, when light fades fast! 

 

Wootton Marsh Field is slightly more difficult to find than the Roydon Field. Unless there are signs of activity across the field, you could easily miss it!  However, here is a map of the area with its location.

The Red Cat Hotel,  Station Rd, North Wootton, King's Lynn, PE30 3QH.  www.redcathotel.com

 

Wootton Marsh Flying Field is past the Red Cat Hotel.

Driving Directions – How to get there.

As you can see, it's in the middle of nowhere! No fear of road traffic or annoying the neighbours. The good news is that if you can find the RED CAT HOTEL, you are close but go straight past this along 'Station Road.' - reward yourself with a drink after flying! Reduce your speed and be aware of the possibility of meeting the occasional horse and rider. Follow the road through wooded area and up and over a dog leg bridge. Carry on to 'T' junction and turn  right into 'Marsh Road.'. Go along this straight rural road past an agricultural yard to a left-hand bend. Drive short stretch up to a metal gate facing you before next bend to right. You may have to look carefully for the gate if it is open! You should see some cars and maybe a box trailer parked on the flying field.

 

Here, drive through gate if open and along track to a bridge. Immediately over this small bridge you will find a steep slope on the left into a field! You should see the Flying Field ahead - drive slowly to preserve your undercarriage!

 

See you there! - Happy Flying!
