The 26 threshold is a bit of a bitch because of the cables, indeed!
Well spotted; at 0:35 seconds in the video.
The thing is, when itīs windy it is the preferred threshold for obvious reasons; in case of a missed approach you donīt need cables!
I have had one or two missed approaches coming from the other side, if you just decide early; thereīs no worries.
Once again, itīs far from ideal
..but as I said:

2) Itīs nicely elevated which makes for all year round flying; while other (nicer) airfields struggle in the rainy season.
3) While it looks a little bendy; those are mainly the grass shoulders which are perfectly fit for use; in case you swerve a little!
4) We are moving to a beautiful new club soon!
The 1st plane already landed on our new park; without cables anywhere and 16 meters width to play with!
