Ruth & Ulrics Self Catering Gite in S.E. France

Ruth and Ulric Jessop moved from Edinburgh to the S.E. of France 4 years ago and have set up a self catering gite for flyers - hang gliders and paragliders. 1.5 hrs from Nice. A lot of SMPC pilots have already been out to stay with them. Flying is good there virtually all year round. They are ideally situated for flying at Col de Bleyne, Lachens, Greolieres, St Andres and Gourdon. For anyone bringing a non flying partner with them the area is also good for walking, rock climbing, canoeing, rafting, cycling, horseriding, fishing and with 300 sunny days a year sunbathing. For more info have a look at the website www.pottyplace.com or email \n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it


Pilots should note that Globespan flights fly direct from Edinburgh to Nice from the 2nd of April 2007.
