I flew out of Cottered about 9 years ago. No hangar then - shared a barn with a combine harvester and tractors. Farmer nice bloke but his brother looked after the rental. Weird man who thought he could charge as much as a licensed strip but with no facilities.

Good chalky soil - smooth grass - strip slopes from farm end down towards West.

Note the pylons but at least parallel to strip.

I used to take off down slope and land up - unless it was really blowing.
