Take-off
Take off near the mobile phone mast or further down if wind is strong Also possible to take off on the NNW face http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=256825&Y=728352&A=Y&Z=120
Landing
Landing is tricky as there is limited space near the car park with small trees now growing up in the clear patches. An alternative landing is approx 1km N of the car park but this also has powerlines to contend with. There are also several normal power lines and a high voltage power line (pylons). Work was starting to underground the high voltage line in spring 2009 which should make this site quite a bit safer. This is not a beginner or inexperienced pilot site - recommended BHPA Pilot or above
