Landing on an unfamiliar private grass field. 300 m of the field was wet and not usable (first part at the actual approach). When on final (in downwind) , the pilot could not see where these 300 meters ended and the "good" part of the field started and decided to go around. The a/c struck some treetops on a ridge with substantial damage to the wings.
The performance of the a/c was degraded but the pilot turned and made a successful landing (headwind) at the field.
