In agreement with previous posters.

Regarding grass strips however, bear in mind that they may not necessarily be of a standard such as one may find at a regular airfiled, and before you land ( in addition to the usual wind, length, slope, surface, condition and obstructions check), make a very good note of where you are going to aim for if you get an engine failure while departing. It makes sense to do it at every place just before you land - when you have time to figure out your options in advance.
