[smuzz]

I just got back from a check of the field at about 5:15pm - Steve, I noticed you'd given some parts of it a trim - good on you!

The synopsis: Good to go
The details: Like Steve says, it's still mushy in parts but a couple of orders of magnitude better than last weekend. Some sections of the main strip are difficult to walk across without getting mud up the sides of your shoes, but overall it isn't that bad. I'd recommend bringing chux wipes or something similar for wing and fuselage undersides because some soft mud will be thrown up by undercarriage. But other than that - all good. The cross-strip has repaired itself more rapidly than the main strip (as usual) and would support all our planes. Landing on the main strip would be more of a lottery - most of it is fine, some parts are still boggy. The main strip won't be ready for Darren's mower this weekend.
One good thing to note is that the grass is not growing anywhere nearly as quickly as it was a few weeks ago - it's only the paspalum which is a problem, but not as much as it was late summer.

See you there
