Hey Cusco,

Sorry mate it's certainly not Pa28r friendly, we have two runways 250ish and 350ish metres. They are one way strips too - one end of the 250m run is 85ft lower than the other for example!

A C172 will just about go in and out if very light and I've watched, heart in mouth, a laden C150 just about make it over the fence - never again!

It's all in the AFE guide if you want to have a look.

If you can blag something more suitable (Cub, Maule, Harrier etc) you are very welcome to visit but PM me first for PPR and a brief because being surrounded by valleys on three sides often creates some weird local curl-over effects.

PS lets not make it too far north - my fastest plane is slower than your approach speed - It'll take me two days to get there!
