I had my Cessna maintained there for years by the excellent David Jones and never once thought the airfield was an issue to fly into. They provide a good brief on every runway in use and any pilot should be able to fly in without issue.

I really have no idea why people make such a meal of it. The published distances are nothing like the reality. Its like flying into Sibson which has the shortest licensed runway (or it did before the licence went) which actually has acres of space.
