By far the most-used airstrip on the heath is the July Course, which is permanently available and marked. This is generally where EGSW locates to. There is another strip, the Rowley Mile strip, which is a rectangular area a few hundred metres NE of the July course. This is marked with temporary markers and is only available on race days. I used to set a record flying from one to the other. 42 seconds was my best effort from brakes off to brakes on. ;)
