I can’t understand all the nonsense about the strip needing “managed” and perhaps even needing fire service coverage as indicated in the newspaper story. It’s a grass strip for god’s sake, how much management does it need? Why don’t they just put a recording over the Unicom frequency on permanent cycle saying:

“Welcome to Glenforsa, the wind today is whatever the f**k the sock says it is, the pattern direction is the one that would involve you not flying into the hill, your landing at your own risk, if you make it down safe enjoy the local activities, if you don’t you’re on your own. Oh and by the way leave a tenner in the honesty box to cover the cost of Jock the shepherd cutting the grass and any associated scythe sharpening expenses he may have. If in the likely event that Jock has taken the money and gotten pissed up without cutting the grass, holding your nose up as long as you can on roll-out is advisable. Have a nice day.

Sorted.
