The field

I went to the field on wednesday afternoon and what a bl---y mess the cows and rain combination had made:(.

its a pity we cant somehow fence off the taxiway and pits area but I guess the farmer wouldnt allow that!

correct farmer won't allow it

Just back from cutting the strip. Sadly despite the efforts of Jem and Jet Jockey Bob on Sunday, using their vehicles to roll the taxiway and pits, things are just as bad again after further rain and the efforts of the cattle.

A couple of land mines aught to sort it out!

Same problem ever year just normally earlier on, just heavy rain has made it worse,

Will be fine by September

Had a late visit on Sunday after you had gone Mark, Bob "the roller" Gadsby was busy at it, shame I didn't have a model with me.

Just cut the strip which is in good fettle. Have managed to roll 95% of the taxiway with the car and trailer, just a small piece by the strip that's still too wet to drive over. The pits is still basically no go area with either the mower or car Check carefully before you drive into the pits area.

Thanks Brian

Just been down field today with jay, Had a good fly done about 1/2 gallon on my battered yellow trex.

The field/pits have dryied out alot, I've rolled up and down with the car, and a lot smoother except for a couple of very wet bits. The pits area is actually not bad, I would say usable in areas now.

Good stuff Neil

I was there about 7.45. Wonderful flying weather, where were you all???

Flew till the cattle ambled along then ran up and down the taxi way a few times. As Neil says it is much better and rapidly hardening up except for the soft bits which are very soft. Still rather mangled at the end of the taxiway unfortunately
