Upon landing, the stopping distance was increased by a combination of a frosty grass surface, the undulation of the runway surface causing the aircraft to momentarily become airborne (bouncing out of a hollow), and landing slightly later than intended, du e to the aircraft's speed. These factors led to a runway excursion through the fence at the end of the runway, resulting in a prop strike, damage to the horizontal and vertical stabilisers, and to the rear section of the tail due to contact with one of the fence posts. The pilot acknowledged that going around early in the landing sequence would have been the correct action.
