• There have been serious accidents when attempting top landings on both hang and
• paragliders. There can be an area of dangerous air behind take-off.
• DO NOT fly slowly when top landing here and definitely DO NOT attempt to ‘mush it in’.
• When low, be wary of the power cables and trees at the base of the hill and running along
• the road. If the wind is strong, there is a pronounced wind shear, possibly caused by the
• quarry in front. In these conditions, take care bottom landing. Edenfield is notorious for
• appearing light wind at bottom, yet strong at take off. Always assess situation at take off.
• Important
• Don’t fly over the houses
• Don’t shout when in the air – on foot pass quietly past the dwellings
• Don’t bring spectators
• Be aware of horses using the tracks - keep away from them
