Long grass in some landing fields !

Post by ron freeman »

Be careful not to land in the long grass at some of our sites at the moment
Check out your landing field first before using it.

Cheers.

I second that on behalf of CSC sites!

Good point Ron. The land usage changes at this time of year from fields full of new lambs e.t.c. to fields with silage grass growing in them.

For Cumbria from about the end of May try to not land in fields that look dark green from the air as they are full of silage and farmers hate it being trampled down. Instead firstly try and find a freshly cut field (light green) or land in ones with live stock and minimise you disruption.
