There's a public right of way in the undershoot for runway 24 at Fairoaks which crosses airfield property so it's not fenced off. It's naturally a favourite with dog walkers 7 days a week but we rarely get problems from dogs running on the movement area and the owners rarely keep them on leads as they cross the runway undershoot.
