Much the same as DeltaV, flying round London TMA and weather closed in (unforecast), found a nice field with a farmhouse at the end for a cuppa, lady was very surprised when I knocked at the door and said "hope you don't mind, I have left my aircraft in your field"
Tried to take off when it cleared, very long field so with a very light wind I tried to go off downwind but a bit of a clingy surface so could not get the speed, turned round at the end and off no problem.
Good bit in the experience bag as I had not had my PPL for very long at that time.
