Finally got to do the trip today, went to Sherburn.
And annoyed someone on leaving.
I called "ready for departure", realising that I hadn't rembered the correct A/G speak for "I'm about to cross the hold, does anybody mind?". I saw nobody on final, and had heard nobody on the radio, and nobody made any call in response to mine. So I called "lining up" and moved towards the runway.
Then someone called "final". Bit late for me to do anything about it, as I had by now crossed the hold and was occupying the runway. So there's no way the guy on final could have landed if I'd stopped where I was, but there was a chance that if I got a move on he could land after I'd gone, so I called "taking off" and took off.
I then got told off for making someone go around. Fair enough, I probably should have spotted them and not entered the runway in the first place, even though they hadn't yet called final. But they were, I think, trying to suggest that having entered the runway, and then heard them call final after I had already entered the runway, I should have held my position so that they could land whilst I was occupying the runway.
I know you can't land on an occupied runway at a controlled airfield, but I'm not familiar with A/G operations - is this rule different? Is it OK to land after someone else has crossed the hold and then stopped?
