......... and look out for the gorse
Not just the gorse, molehills, hares & deer too.

Landed once when I was training there were three deer stood on the runway at the other end. Taxied up in order to turn around & take-off again and they just stood looking as if to say "We were here first mate".

Revved the engine & they eventually moved off just into the longer grass whilst I did what I needed to. After take off I turned back towards the field & they'd gone back onto the runway, I guess one was saying to the others "Typical b*****y human, there's three runways here & he had to choose the one we were having lunch at..."
