New strip

FF
I'd use the place very occasionally at first.
If you must have a windsock only have it put it up when you intend to visit, preferable manage without !
Don't base the aeroplane there from day 1.
If you have friends with stripping interests make sure they understand your situation and their obligations not to upset your apple-cart.
No circuits. In and out avoiding habitation.
Pick a breezy day for the first time in.
Do a bit of detective work in the local pub, someone has always noticed something, there may be valuable info/backfeed to be had.
Best of luck.
PS the above based on experience of helping set up several "new" strips.
