What's it like for a brief visit? Asphalt and grass runways seem to be an interesting arrangement.

Nice place, though I've been there only twice. Seems like a nice honest small airfield. Not a huge amount to do there if you want to make a day of it. The only other place I've been too with Tarmac and grass runways parallel with each other is Duxford, but that makes sense because of the pleasure flights and variety of aircraft based there. The strangest place is Stapleford which has one big long runway, of which something like half is asphalt and the remainder is grass. It's odd landing at night and potentially being able to run off the end of the asphalt but still be on a legitimate runway.

So just back. A nice field with long grass runway and a matching if slightly narrow asphalt strip. In and out with the PA46 was fine.
