Can anyone give info on a grass strip to the west of Frensham lake, on the western edge of the danger area, D131?

It's not marked on any of the CAA charts or the OS 50,000 map but I spotted a number of small fixed wing aircraft on the ground there the other day.

I may need to operate close by in the future, so I would like to make contact with the owner/operators.

Try Martin Dovey whose contact info is on this page (http://www.pfa.org.uk/strut_listing.asp). He is connected with (though not the regd owner of) G-BTSV (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=G-BTSV) which may still be based there. The address for the regd owner may not be his home address. I understand he lives in Pyrford, not far from Frensham.

Pooleys also used to list a helipad at the aforementioned hotel. Most frequent operator to my recollection is N2CL.

Thanks for the leads.

I have previously spoken to the hotel; the person I spoke to was apparently unaware of the existence of the strip! I will need to use the hotel for a heli landing occasionally, hence my question.
