Beautiful spot

I flew in there yesterday on business in Huddersfield:
1. What a great area to fly in. Great views of the moors, the valleys, northern towns n'all.
2. Amazingly close to Huddersfield town centre (2.1 miles) and yet on the airfield you feel as though you're in the middle of t' countryside
3. I found landing on 25 trickier than on the hump at the Scilly Isles! Some considerable sink over the quarries making it one of my more firm landings
4. Magnificent Terminal Building, with make your own tea and coffee, biscuits and all sorts including comfy chairs, and differential landing fees. If for leisure just £3.
5. Recommended to others and I'll be going again.
PS. down the road from the airfield they're filming "Where the heart is" whatever that is. I thought they were travellers at first!
