Hi,

Barton's grass surface has been enhanced over the last 12 months with the application of a special sand and soil mix which allows the surface to 'knit' together better - in addition the drainage has been repaired/ renewed.

Barton also has a dual runway system - there are two parallel main runways - 27/09 and 27N/09N, the northern runway is used during late autumn - spring with the southern runway in use during the summer season - this ensures any wear is spread.

Cheers
