Oh dear, perhaps Dublin Pilot has been involved on some of the more combative threads on Prune. I simply hoped to make contact with the Jodel driver (who had two glider pilot pax on board) to give a fuller explanation of my suggestion that landing was inadvisable due to cross-wind at about 90 degrees and severe turbulence at low level. As Astir suggests, our airfield is somewhat unconventional.

We get the occasional powered visitor and most of us are happy to see them. The Peak Park do place restrictions on US for operating power but that would not prevent us from assisting any aircraft. We recently had a request for a landing from a big ugly green thing with an egg whisk on top. It was full of soldiers. They were very nice and enjoyed the tea.
