There are issues with some airfields and these are usually well-publicised.

The series of accidents at Netherthorpe show that some pilots are very casual with their w&b and take-off/landing calcs.

Strip flying is a skill that needs to be kept in practice, and not all aircraft or pilots are up to dealing with the more challenging strips. I try to visit as many as I can, but there are one or two I'd never go to in my aircraft. At times even Compton Abbas is a challenge.
