I just wondered where the actual information for small grass strips comes from. Little Trostrey  Farm strip I think may not be correct as shown on SD. There is a strip a little south of this at Tank School (also known as Little Trsotrey farm I believe). On landing at Tank School, I was informed that the strip shown on SD was not recognised as a strip and that the owner of that site had no interest in aviation etc. Also looking at Google maps it looks very unlikely this would be a viable landing site. Could it be that the strip shown on SD is actually incorrect? Thanks.

It tends to come directly from the strip owners; SkyDemon is the only central source of such information. Sometimes strip owners don't bother telling us when they close the strip. I will alert my colleague to this thread and she'll investigate. Thank you.

Well, your thought of the Little Trostrey Farm strip being incorrect is accurate. And to answer your question, I do think that the strip shown on SD is actually wrong. But I'll do the same as Tim did. I'll forward this to my brother, who's a bit more knowledgeable in all this, and hopefully, he'll be of more help. By the way, this is a bit unrelated to the topic, but do you guys know by any chance any companies that install fake grass? Maybe something like this https://itsartificialgrass.com/? If yes, could you please give me a roundup of a few companies that are good at it? Thanks in advance!
