Despegue – Garth Hill

Dirección: NNEESESSOONO
Coordenadas: 51.5443, -3.2805
Altitud: 196 m
Región: Rhondda, Cynon, Taff, GB

Descripción del despegue

here are two take-off areas, Southeast and East. Access to both is by foot only, a long hard carry up. Beware of rotor behind the East take-off.

Cómo llegar

By minor roads from Pentyrch. Parking: Turn right onto the narrow road that runs along the base of the hill, and park in the lay-by. This road is subject to subsidence, and is sometimes inaccessible from Gwaelod-y-Garth. Carry up the SE side of the hill (quite steep).

Meteo

The bottom landing field is tricky, and well worth a pre flight visit.

Comentarios

This site is rarely flown and has limited capacity, a maximum of two gliders soaring at any one time. The site can provide pleasant flying in light evening winds, but in strong winds can be turbulent behind the trees and quarries. Do not land in fields on the Southeast side. Open site - This site may be flown by suitably insured visiting hang glider & paraglider pilots.
