It's many years since I flew into Le Touquet (or rather it's new "text-speak" name L2K. Flew in this week and enjoyed it every bit as the first time. London Info as far as mid channel to Bologne then planned to call Lille (per chart) at 5,500' but London said "I think you need to just call Le Touquet". They asked me to report entering controlled airspace, then report downwind for 32 right hand.

It's only an hour from my base at 100kts but we decided to stay overnight and it was well worth it (highly recommend Hotel Bristol for 100 Euros). Great chance to eat in town and have a bottle of wine before a stroll round the lovely shops, load up with cheese and delicious fruit/veg before flying back.

100x better than most GA fields in the UK. Highly recommended.

Computer in area next to bikes for self briefing (make sure you know your Met Office log in or use a freebie like euro.propilots etc.

Landing fee and overnight parking 29 Euro for a 172.
