Never flown in there but based on what i can see on google earth it looks like a fine airfield
There are better briefing mediums
Yes, in-depth briefings are an excellent safety item when available, whether they be notams/AFD/ATIS etc. However you should not assume that everybody has the same flight mission/profile and too the same types of facilities. Over half my landings are in fields where the preflight destination telephone briefing goes something along these lines of:
Me: How’s the field looking today?
Field”Manager”: Which one?
Me: The one oot the back o’ the shed you had tatties in last year and its now in winter wheat.
Field “manager” Aye the tramlines are dry, it’ll dae fine.
That is why I said Caenarfon “looks like a fine field” to me it looks like a Heathrow!!
