How to find us
We are blessed with nice open and quiet space in which to fly, however it is not so easy to find
for those not familiar with the area. The site itself was the old airfield of the Sligo Aeroclub, who have since moved to Strandhill.
The main route is from Collooney, click on the icon below to open a new window with a detailed map:
Directions Junction A - heading out of Collooney on the Ballisodare road take the first left for the Train Station.
Point B - distinctive dangerous bends as you cross over the disused railway and is approx 1 mile from junction A
Junction C - approx 1.5 miles from point B take a left. You will cross the railway tracks only a few meters from the turn off
Junction D - after half a mile there is a turning left onto a laneway hidden behind a small cottage that is open to the road. Look up and you should see some overhead power lines. This lane twists and turns for a few hundred yards so be careful.
You will then find yourself driving on the right hand side of a large open field, we are near the end of this straight.
If you a coming from Ballina direction then take the turn off for Coolaney (junction X) which is about 1 mile after Collery's shop (on your right) at Beltra.
You will take the twisty Hungry Rock road over the hill, when the road staightens out take a left turn at junction Y (2 miles from X) heading for Collooney.
Junction C is 1.6 miles from Y. Turn right and follow the directions above.
