Default RE: Flying field quality

a grass strip!luxury!where i fly we have to park up,walk 1/2 a mile uphill through the woods to reach what is laughingly called a flying site,we have a realistic strip of 80 feet by 30 feet!there is a lot of heather around the strip but we take off and land from dry ground with a lot of stone and gravel on it,we are not allowed to make improvements because it is a 'site of special scientific interest',in other words there's a lot of rare flowers and animals around the site,it has been said that if you can take off and land there you can do so absolutely anywhere,it eats aircraft,there is never a mild crash,they are always bin-bag jobs.
