Landing the Chippy at a rather short grass field. Checked the wind sock, looked like it was blowing straight across, no probs thought I. Came in very close to the trees on short final, over the road, right bleed the power, down she goes..... I always remember thinking that the two ladies watching me from the golf club hedge, that ran along the perimiter at the end of the runway, were beginning to look large, and then I thought, christ the wheels have not touched down yet, checked back at the sock, which was now blowing beautifully downwind. I floated and floated, then contact, only problem now was I was 80% down the runway, and braking very hard.
The two women were now running away, in the opposite direction.
I slewed sideways to a stop, inches from the hedge/wall, thinking what a total plonker. Learnt from that, again...
