Milson Airtrip runs north-south (17/35 to be precise) and has a slight upslope that makes it a one-way-in, one-way-out strip unless the wind is really strong. There's 450m of nice grass, so while not very short, it does need some respect with regards to approach speeds. Come in 10 knots too fast here and touch down too late and you'll be needing all of the upslope and some heavy braking to avoid embarassment, particularly if you have a heavy aeroplane with a decent amount of inertia.
The landing fee at Milson is a measly £2, a bargain for such a great facility.
