I'm surprised there isn't already a listing for Fenland, so I'll start one here. (If there is and I missed it, apologies).
I flew in yesterday from Old Buck, keen to expand my repertoire of different airfields (this is only my 5th).
Anyway, Fenland lived up to its reputation of being difficult but not impossible to find - it's on a direct line between Wisbech and Spalding, which helped. The grass (26) undulated nicely so I had three landings for the price of one, but otherwise fine.
Very impressive radio. I arrived at the same time as about half-a-dozen others, but it was all handled in a very friendly and efficient manner. (This in spite of someone calling 'I'm low on fuel - I think I've got enough to get in, but not enough for a go-around'. How does that happen?)
Nice little cafe, and landing fee only £5. I'd go again.
