Advice

Post by jill mcgeachie »

Hi all,

Just wanted some advice as to where to go abroad flying mid to end of April. Andalusia, dune de playa, anywhere else, somewhere safe (and warm) so I can get my brave pants back!

Please feel free to put forward any suggestions as we are keen to get away on a break.

Thank you :)

Only place I've been that may fit the bill is Valadares.

That was Feburary though so not sure what it will be like in April.

generaly alicante area can be very nice end of april though you can get the odd bad week. however if it is flyable the flying tends to be very easy and mostly relaxing, so perfect to get you back in the saddle. aneccy also tends to be at its best in spring not always as bad as they say and the weather can also be very nice.

cheers gary

In my opinion, at tthis time of year without going outside europe I would be looking at spain. Andalucia (Algodonales) is my favourite :D however logistics is a bit of a problem if you dont have a driver or a guide. :(
Have just come back from alicante, its not as pretty as Algo but there are plenty of sites and if you go with doywana its pretty much switch your brain of flying :???: youre met at the airport with a car the digs are good and your taken flying everyday and never have to look at a forcast or a map. 8)
however we have just come back and the weather was crap :cry: :cry: :cry:
so you pay your money and take your choice.
wherever you end up hope you have a good one :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for all your replies guys, really appreciate it.

I have contacted Baz Rhodes and a few others for dates and costs so we will be off somewhere for flying and chilling.
