Site briefing
https://w3w.co/beaks.hacksaw.imparting Located above the stone wall on the front of the hill just before the corner where it turns downhill, about 200 yards to the west of the hut. This is a shallow incline and requires a committed run on a hang glider.
Top landing: In the car park field. Beware of the power line which runs along the northern edge of the uncultivated field. Bottom landing: There is no official bottom landing field, but there is a field just below take-off which can be used to avoid going all the way to the bottom, although a landing in it requires great skill and judgement. The field generally used is in front of the woods to the west. This field slopes away from the hill and landings are usually made towards the hill as there is little or no wind. Ask an experienced pilot before flying. Keep out of all fields containing livestock, especially horses.
Pilot rating: Pilot. Restrictions: Soaring only, no top-to-bottoms.
