MIK 4,763 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I can remember before the basin or backies as us locals call it was a nature reserve ....my old man taking me out on the mud as a kid at that end which was very popular especially in a North wind ....there used to be a light at the grave yard that gave you something to head for when coming off the mud after a night flight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
