Was actually heading to Winston Hills shops after dinner so I stopped at the field at 7:30pm for a quick flight or 2 before it got dark. Ingo & Steve had already left - the gates were locked - so I started to walk in with gear in hand. A sign of the times or maybe I'm just paranoid - but there was a group of around 5 or 6 young guys hanging around in the concrete channel thing as you walk in (that gets graffitied sometimes) and I immediately felt vulnerable as far as being out in the middle of an isolated field with no one else around. I decided to turn around and head to the shops instead - annoying when I was already there and looking forward to a flight. Maybe being overly cautious - I'm OK with being there first thing in the morning alone - just make sure I keep my fingers away from spinning props & have my mobile on hand.
