"The grass runway was orientated north east; the surface wind was calm. The pilot reported that he had misjudged the height at the runway threshold and had 'rounded out too high'. He considered that the contrasting colour and direction of recently mown grass at the threshold and the upwards slope of the runway may have contributed to the accident".
