Hairyplane,

There were all kinds in there yesterday and I'm sure you'd be fine. One problem came when someone tried to land downwind on 06 and then a number of people followed. That end is very rough and at the end of the rough bit the white markers stop, so people then thought they had run out of strip, but hadn't.

The best way to come in is 24, assuming the wind is OK, drop it just over the stone wall and to the left of the big patch of rushes, all of which are well before the first white markers (now stones, which have replaced the posts). Wind indication will come from the flag on the church, if it's flying. Landing fee £10 + £3.50 per passenger, PPR obviously.

The Grob would have got in OK, but getting out might have been trickier. Come to the fly-in next year -- keep an eye on www.devonstrut.co.uk
