Site briefing
Planning information for Llantysilio Mountain
Take-off
Getting to takeoff: From the bend by the car park, ascend directly to the nearest summit if the wind is south; or contour upward in a NE direction to the SE facing take-off areas south of the ridge path. Take-off well away from the wire fence along the ridge-line. The absence of any significant flat area on the ridge summit precludes top landing though slope landing may be an option. There are reasonably level bottom landing areas below both the S and SE faces, including one adjacent to the car parking area. Avoid landing in the field to the west of the road.
Landing
Slope landing only
Access and parking
Park off the narrow road at the bend at map reference SJ148450 . This is also one of the landing areas so park close to other vehicles. Do not attempt to drive vehicles up the ridge path.
