John,
If you haven't yet got yourself on the seat at Bristol, don't discount Filton as an option.

I'm in the closing stages of testing Tony Meredith's Filton and it's really very good. Not only that but it's in a great location. Take-off from 27 overflies the third party Avonmouth Docks. Somebody else has plonked other dock bits and pieces, storage tanks and stacks. Across the Severn can be seen more stacks and cooling towers, whilst over nearby Bath are hot air baloons. To cap it off there's an excellent view of the Bridge and as you taxi out you find yourself being overtaken by traffic on the adjacent motorway. A new field like this, plus its location, should start to generate decent traffic volumes.
