Some of the best flying you will ever get. Certainly sharpens all senses. Like SSD I used to operate the Chipmunk from some very tight fields and strips, being very aware of the field, and the aircraft limitations.
Recently been taking the Cub into a 300', 12 foot wide strip, the farmer cut it too neat, trees either end, with all manner of varying winds etc.
Also, actually in slight error, got the Cub into a 200' long grass strip. Gave myself a small fright as the fence came at me very fast. Took off, in a howling crosswind, on the longer grass strip that ran at angles to this one.
However, the caveat. As with everything, experience and knowledge of type, and conditions, dictate having a good, or bad day
