Welcome to the Devon & Somerset Condors Web Site

The Devon & Somerset Condors welcome visitors to our area to fly most of our sites, but we do ask that you are a member of another UK club and of the BHPA. Pilots living within the Condors catchment area are urged to join the club - all of the private land owners from whose land we fly receive some sort of recompense for their generosity towards us, and we pay fees for some of our Council and National Trust sites, so it is only fair that all local pilots should contribute. Furthermore, you will receive a bi-monthly edition of our newsletter, Airheads, which contains up-to-date information regarding sites when appropriate, as well as news, views and articles. Without sites we cannot fly. If you do not know the site rules, you might inadvertently lose a site for all. Please do the decent thing if you live locally and join our club. Thank you.

The Open Sites guide on this web site will inform you where you can fly. If you become a member you will also have access to our members only sites. To fly two major sites, namely Charmouth and Branscombe, you MUST be a fully paid up member of the Condors. You must also have your name and car registration on a list held by the landowners. This is at the landowners' stipulation. These are both excellent south coast sites, which have entailed lengthy and sensitive negotiation for our use. We also have a number of sites which, whilst not members only, are sensitive and/or occasionally closed. If you do not know the rules or status of a site, please do not fly there without first contacting a club member who does. If at any time the landowner asks you to leave, please do so without fuss, and contact the Sites Officer (Phil Fouracre - 01460 281130) as soon as possible to inform him.

We are generally a friendly bunch, but if you lose any of our sites for us, you might never fly again!!!

Before flying any of our sites, please make contact with us and/or get a sites guide.

Thank you, and we hope you enjoy flying with us.
