Anyone flown in there? This strip seems to have first appeared in Pooley's last year (under Salcombe), then again this year, and is shown on the current half-mill chart.
I'm interested in going there, but would like first hand experience as to the quality of the surface. My a/c has firm oleos and fairly small nose wheel, and lands and lifts off relatively fast, and I normally only use hard runways.
I'm happy on good grass, which I rate Bodmin, Compton Abbas, Old Sarum as having. Sywell 03/21 is not as good, but OK. After one visit, Sandown is a 'never again'.
With this info, how would one rate Bolt Head?
While I'm at it, any comments on present state of runways at Rochester?
Best grass by far, like a bowling green, was Hilversuum in Holland!
