Remarks

Runways 06/24 Hard and Grass.  Tarmac and grass running in parallel.  The south side grass is used primarily for the gliders when the wind direct dictates.  Please talk on the local frequency before entering the right hand circuit
Runways 09/27.  Grass only.  The grass is used primarily for the gliders when the wind direct dictates.  Please talk on the local frequency before entering the right hand circuit
Runway 33. Grass only and short.  While landable, 15 should only be used in emergencies.

There is evidence of a 09/27 concrete - but this is dangerous to land on - 1940's concrete that has now broken up but is usable for driving vehicles and towing gliders.
The side of 06/24 hard is also broken.  Stick to the black stuff

There is a robust group of local power flyers, including an AN-20

There is a major Sky Dive centre that operates Tuesday to Sunday and Bank holiday Mondays until sunset
