I doubt the owner has ever properly measured the strip so if you want
measurements it would probably be better to take the bearings and distances
directly from GE.
I did a random check of private strip lengths in GE and found many were much
shorter than the Lockyear figures - in truth all figures for private strips
have to be treated with great caution. None are measured with any accurate
tools.

I already have the location, having done a farm strip location, last
year. It stands out very clearly in the Horizon scenery and even more so
in the Earth version I'm currently testing.
What I'm interested in, because of what I can see on the footprint, is
runway length and any conditions applying, etc. In the Earth version the
narrowness you mention is even more noticeable than before. In both
versions there seems to be a sort of hiatus, at the point where what
I've assumed to be the two runways cross.
Apparently he's still having trouble with the neighbours. They stopped
his planning application for a hangar but I don't suppose they can stop
flying, under the 28 day rule.
One thing that intrigues me, bearing in mind the strip's height and
distance from the coast, is an item that's clearly visible in GE and the
scenery. A boat is parked part way along what I assumed to be a taxiway!
