At the recent LAA Rally, I landed on the grass and turned off 03R at a decent speed as instructed in the AIC. Some way from the runway (about halfway to the taxiway) I heard the aircraft behind me call "overshooting", presumably because he considered I was still on the runway. This surprised me as I thought I was well clear at that stage.
Now, I know that at most airports there's a yellow line across a concrete taxiway which defines the extent of a hard runway. I have searched without success for a definition of what the corresponding position is for a grass runway where there are no such ground markings, especially halfway up the runway. This is not mentioned in the Rally AIC, nor the AIP. Please would someone here will enlighten me whether I was in the wrong?
