Takeoff description
Take off from the very top. Walk up from the landing field....there is a farmers track... ask permission to go on the land from the cottage beside the landing field. The man is very nice.
Pilot comments
The farmer in the cottage is very friendly. His field is the safest place to land around here... and the longest.
