Hazards and cautions

• We must respect the sailplane operations taking place at the neighbouring Midland Gliding Club. They use tow lines from both ends of their field at the same time and it is extremely dangerous to cross their airfield at low altitude. On good days they will tow to a significant height. Please take your climbs elsewhere on the ridge.
• The main PG bottom landing field is marked as PG2 on the map. PG1, the landing field which is the field immediately below the PG launch area, can only be used for ‘unplanned or emergency landings' only, no deliberate top to bottoms!
• Black Knoll at the south end of the ridge – Shooting may take place between October and January, on and below the hill. Shooting dates will be posted to the Black Knoll site guide and to Telegram when known! Flying is not permitted on these dates.
• Do not overfly farms and horse paddocks/arena’s when low including the one just below launch!
• When low on the ridge, take care when members of the public are present including horse riders and dog walkers.
