Take-off description
The area directly below the gate may be used, but be aware that it is close to the bridleway. Alternatively, the top landing field can be used. Access is through the gate immediately on the left after entering the site. this field is closed if it contsind crop or sheep in the lambing season. you need to clear a barbed wire fence so this launch is not suitable in light winds.
Weather
Can be very rough with significant rotor especially if off a little west. beware bowl effect. no bottomlanding
Comments
Rarely flown. has gained a reputation as a poor site suffering from turbulance at times and no bottom landing. It is a rare inland SW site. some XC potential. site also used by Aeromodellers.
