[more info] CROCK VENDOR CROCK LINKS		THIS LAUNCH SITE IS NO LONGER USED BY CROCK STALISFIELD INFORMATION TOWN / COUNTY Stalisfield Green / Kent COUNTRY United Kingdom GPS N51:14:36 E00:49:59 LAND TYPE Model Flying ALTITUDE CEILING 4500 feet SITE AREA approx. 75 acres Stalisfield is located roughly between Catnerbury and Charing in Kent and is located a few miles off the main road amongst deep farm land. The site and the surrounding farm land is owned and farmed by a local family and the site itself is set aside for model flying of all kinds. The surrounding fields to the launch site is farmed for various crops. PANORAMA VIEW: Stalisfield  AERIAL VIEW: STALISFIELD The site is grass-land but even though it is kept a-side for model flying is not cut very often, therefore the grass gets very long at unknown times over the year. The site is basically round in shape and due to the nominal wind direction the launch pads are located near the entrance making setup and prep closely located to the launch pad. The site is normally windy due to the site being located on top of a hill which can cause problems for high power rocketry unless CPR recovery is used. The site is lined with clumps of trees and can come in to play but generally not a problem for the brave. The site is no longer used by CROCK due to the owner requiring more money per meeting and therefore the club uses a new site. Below is a list of CROCK launch sites past (the sites listed may not have permission from the owners to fly rockets - please read the important information provided within the launch site information sections) and present: - CHARING Charing is located near Ashford and Canterbury in Kent and located within reasonable driving distance of the M25 which makes the site very accessable. The site is located on Charing race course which is a point-to-point horse racing course. The site is easy to find and supported by major roads from Ashford, Canterbury and Miadstone. WALLAND MARSH (NORTH) Walland Marsh is located between Rye (East Sussex) and Brenzett (Kent), near Ashford in the South-East. The area is known as the Marshes as it is reclaimed land and currently lies just below sea level. The advantage of this is that the area is vast with minimal amounts of trees. One would normally think this kind of land would be prone to flooding and boggy land but due to farming dykes have been placed all around the area creating very good drainage. WALLAND MARSH (SOUTH) Walland Marsh is located between Rye (East Sussex) and Brenzett (Kent), near Ashford in the South-East.
