The following NOTAMS affect our area
Ref: H2778/07
Navigation warning in place on from 1015 on Saturday 28 July 2007 until 1615 Sunday 29 July 2007.
The area affected is a 6 nautical mile radius (longer than a normal mile!) centred on 54deg 22min N 2deg 56min W.
In land terms this centre is SD 39456 97198 and its 126ft NW of the tip of Belle Isle on Windermere (the big one).
The cylinder goes from surface level to 5000ft amsl (well its really at 5000ft with your altimeter set at the ICAO standard of 1013mb).
The actual times are shown and its for the Windermere air display.
The really important one is
Ref: J3331/07
Start date/time: 29/07/2007 10:55 UTC
End date/time: 29/07/2007 11:33 UTC
Lower height limit: 000
Upper height limit: 087
RESTRICTED AREA (TEMPORARY) AT WINDERMERE, CUMBRIA FOR A RED ARROWS DISPLAY
WI 6NM RADIUS 542152N 0025544W. AREA ESTABLISHED UNDER ARTICLE 96 OF THE ANO 2005 (MIL ACFT SHOULD COMPLY WITH JSP552.201.135.9) AIC 33/2007 (MAUVE 218) DATED 26 APRIL 07 REFERS. AUS 07-07-0156/2943/AS1
This is the same circle but cylinder is higher at 8700ft.
This one is a Preflight Information Bulletin and its an exclusion order. Go into this circle and
1. You will collect a very heavy fine
2. You will have alienated most of the commercial properties in Bowness and Windermere together with a lot of visitors as the Arrows will abort the display.
Although this defines the restricted area, bear in mind that the Arrows will transit to and from the display in a loose formation (normally 2 blocks). 2 years ago they went up Coniston. Also during the display, some parts of the team will loiter round the edge of the display area (and possibly outside it) while the Synchro Pair are doing their bit.
The best thing about this NOTAM is it tells you exactly when they will be displaying. Sunday 1055 to 1133. If you want to see flying at its best, go see them
Flying the Lakes this weekend?? WATCH OUT!!

It is sad to measure your life in terms of hours flown...... but even sadder not to.........
Windermere NOTAM
Just to help people visualise it:
I know people have been patiently waiting for the new online sites guide.
Basically, I've been forced to focus on my day job for the last few weeks as I've been doing a major release of my business website that I've been working on for months (http://www.dive-logs.com).
However that went live a few days ago and in a few days (once the dust has settled) I'll be getting back into the Site Guide. A working NOTAM map system should be available in a few days and I'll post the link here when it's up and running.

I was at Portmoake gliding club last week and chatting to the CFI Notams came up as we were moaning about how impenetrable they are. Folks in the sailplane world are also keen to see your work, I think you'll be seeing some hits from GA too so hurry up!
