White Waltham, & grass rwys

Hi all

I am looking to conduct a flight from Bristol to WW in the next week or so, I have studied Pooleys of the joining and departing procedures etc but am still slightly aprehensive, Id hate to screw up some of those circuit procedures having not flown there before, anyone got any tips about flying in/out of here? I take it I dont need sVFR clearance due to part of the ATZ lying in the London CTZ class A?

Also grass rwys this time of year, only ever landed on a grass rwy once and that was Compton Abbas during my training, i was wondering what to expect this time of year with regards the state of the grass, softness etc and when not to attempt to land on them (if there ever is such a time; deluges?)

You see, flying from an airport with Class D has its pitfalls hehe or am I just aprehensive over nothing?

Thanks in advance

Dean.
