Narrative:

On landing caught gust; aircraft started slow turn to left. I elected to let it roll between runway lights and off runway; controlling left turn with rudder. Aircraft completed approximately 270 degree turn without incident. I was advised to taxi back to the runway and exit adjacent taxiway.
