Aussie Andy,

To defend Circuit Basher a bit, the AIP only deals with the two thresholds. The fact that the runway appears to have been built over the top of what appears to be a small hillock is not really reflected. . Uphill the first half then downhill towards the trees and brown trousers for the second.
There is also quite a bit of highish ground at the end of 05 which a fully fuelled pilot and plane had a bit of trouble getting over.

Still, a lovely day out and I'm sure the beach is luvvly....
