Thank for the replies.
Aircraft PA28-180,so no tailwheel probs but still a lot of crosswind on taxi.
Topology,yep had thought of that as just before threshold on 25 there is a high pile of rubble and large stack of straw bales,it's bumpy there even in a strong breeze.
Wind may be dropping now,so may have a look later,but I'm also aware of the "Sucker's gap",when although it is a rubbish day,it appears OK at the time,you get airborne and it clamps down again, by then it's too late!
I like and remember the advice from the CFI "Rather be down here wishing you were up there ,than up there wishing you were down here"
Have "booked" some potential slots for tomorrow if there are cancellations and wx OK.
