Any Exeter locals?

Is there anyone out there who flies in or out of Exeter regularly?

At the risk of ruining it for all of us, it looks like the weather for the weekend will be good, and my aircraft will be serviceable, so last night I was looking for somewhere to go to. I like the look of Exeter, because it involves navigating a reasonable distance over a part of the country I've never flown in before, it has full ATC, and it has a hard runway - all areas I could do with practicing. I just want to check how GA-friendly it is.

According to Pooleys, the landing fee is not cheap, but not extortionate, which is a fairly good sign. But high-vis jackets are required, which is a bad sign. Their web-site appears to be very commercially-oriented, which is to be expected.

Any thoughts welcome!

Thanks!
