About this flying site
Not the best site but worth trying if you are in the area with a NE wind but take off with extreme caution in stronger winds as the motorway is only 300m downwind!

Take-off
FFVL sign marks access to take off field (grass). Beware of not damaging the fencing when climbing over it to get to the take off. The flying area is quite small and suitable for no more than 4 paragliders
Landing
After the fields have been harvested (early September) there is unlimited landing but beware of damaging crops earlier in the year. There is enough grass at the bottom of the slope to land and this also means one less fence to climb over.
