That settles it

As a simple rule of thumb, if a Warrior will do it an Archer will do it with ease. An Archer is basically a Warrior with more horsepower.
I wouldn't bet on it - I'm pretty sure that the Archer is heavier and that the POH states both a longer landing distance and take-off run than a Warrior.
Beat me to it!

Anyway, forecast says 10kt wind precisely across the runway at Clacton, so it looks like I'm taking my wife and kids somewhere else tomorrow. One of these days I'll go to EGSQ in a spamcan on my own first and check the lie of the land.

Thanks again for all the advice.
