Dont be put off by a bit of grass Rupe. No problem as long as you take into account conditions - e.g. grass cut, dry, drained surface, flat, no sweat. Grass wet, long, bumpy and sloping, well, take 'em into consideration in terms of your aircraft's (& your own) performance - but think of it as broadening your experience. Many of us learned on grass, it's not a big deal as long as you respect it and don't stamp really hard on the brakes... You'll be used to fairly short runways wot with Elstree anyway...
