From: Where Men are Men & Women are glad of it !
Just a word of warning about Eddsfield, YES it is a really lovely strip on a nice day but if you get a good crosswind it can be interesting to say the least, not only have you got to contend with the Trees at very close proximity to one end of the strip (Therefore effectively displacing the threshold) but then when you eventually touch down you find that the runway actually slopes along both its length & breadth !
The first time I landed there I had to look at the U/C before taxying as I was convinced something was wrong due to the unusual attitude of the Aircraft.

Honestly don't let my comments put you off as it truely is a lovely strip but just pick your day for your first trip which is something I didn't do, hence feeling obliged to comment on it now !

Oh yeah ditto the comments regarding the website, many large GA airfields would be proud of such a set up, Well done Edd !
