Site briefing
The new landing field is out front of the lower take off. It is the green field with the power line disecting it in this photo. Also shown in photos are the five bar gate, path to landing field and field access point.    
Status: Open to all. PG rating: CP. HG rating: CP. From Shrewsbury, follow the A49, turn left for Longnor and drive through Longnor. Go straight on at the crossroads, follow the road round, and over the saddle. Just before the saddle, there is limited public parking on the right for a small number of cars. This is just a dirt pull-in, rather than paved parking. If you use this, walk straight up the ridge from there. Otherwise, take the first farm entrance to the right as you descend the saddle. Park in the first field on the right. Do not park in the field if it contains sheep. There is normally someone around who can direct you to alternative parking. Walk up the back of the ridge via the gate provided. In good conditions, it is possible to take off here and work your way up the ridge to the left. A walk up the ridge gives a better chance of soaring. Most PGs take this option, most HGs do not.
