Well over 80% of my flying has been off grass: I learnt (PPL) on grass (RIP Ipswich Airport) and currently fly an Arrow off grass.

All a total non-event.

The only problem I see with a grass strip is that it acts as an irresistible magnet to every chav in the area to come and carve it up doing do'nuts and handbrake turns in their Astras...

Not to mention the dog-walkers, horseriders , kite flyers and all manner of folk who think they have a god-given right to be there.....
