Take-off description
Takeoff on to of the hill at any suitable spot
Getting there
Park in the farmyard, do not block any access. If unsure then ask the friendly farmer (Grant). Follow the road to the north of the parking all the way to the east and go through the gate. Cut across the last field towards the north west until you get to the north fence. Be careful, the electrical fence might be on. Cross over the fence at the mini stile and then walk up the hill towards the takeoff. There are some sheep tracks that can be followed.
Rules / airspace
Close all gates behind you!
Comments
Be friendly with the farmer. Watch out for livestock and heed the signs regarding the angry bull! This is a small soaring site with limited space. A wind turbine upwind of the east face of the ridge can cause some turbulence.
