About this flying site

A rarely flown site with wind directions influenced heavily by the N-S axis of Loch Lomond and rather fickle and unreliable because of this. Worth it for the spectacular views. Best in a stiff ENE breeze when it is possible to soar up the loch side to Tarbet

Take-off

From the parking spot go through the gate and up through the field in a Northerly direction. A track leads up through birch trees past a mobile phone base station and on to bracken covered slopes. Take off is anywhere suitable above the gate/fence

Landing

Not for beginners this is the field with powerlines on 3 sides that you walk through immediately above the parking area. Landing in Luss village has been done but can cause problems
