About this flying site

very small ridge as a starting point but a good place to start especially if met wind is a bit strong for Glencoe ski centre or Aonach Mor ski centre because the ground drops away to the S (down to Loch Tulla) even a flop over the back gives you a chance of an xc big flights have been done from here in a Northerly wind the south side of the hill can also be flown but is not so good for xc
