Site briefing
To walk up go to either end of plantation depending on wind direction and just head off up hill. North end for NE is easier but wetter, South end is drier but the heather is deep in places so try and follow sheep tracks. Launch from either of the bowls north or south of the crags, depending on the specific wind direction.
The suggested landing area is a field near the parking area. Any field not in crop and away from obvious game pens may be considered for landing. Top- and slope-landings are straightforward, although there are a few rocky areas which may not be suitable for landing. NO 370 650 / 56.773045, -3.031166 / 250m
