grass strips
A lot of heavily used grass strips tend to be really rough despite efforts to smooth/ drain them.
I have landed on plenty of strips in 26 years of flying and the roughest ever - ever - is the one at Woburn. I feel that it is the ideal 'what would it be like to force land in a ploughed field' simulator.
Mind you - I did chicken out at Lundy a few years back - a bit better now I believe.
I actually prefer grass. Despite your tyres and brakes lasting longer, grass runways are preferable for old taildraggers.
Don't get the drift off quite right in a spammer and it just costs you rubber. However, in some tailwheel types it can spoil your whole day.
A groundloop on grass is usually a red face only. Do it on tarmac and the risk of damage increases.
Check out Weybourne nr. Cromer. I went there last week in the Robin. Slopes/ rising ground/ do you take a tailwind component and go downhill? All decisions that will not be necessary on tarmac. I dont know of any that aren't flat or thereabouts.
(Weybourne has an interesting tank/ Aviation museum - they also used to fire off DH Queen Bees there in the War. Nice restaurant but now closed until the spring. Strip should be OK to use though..)
All part of the learning process.
Get some in!
