Local guidance
Hazards and cautions
- During morning/evening high tides water comes in quickly. Orographic cloud can form rapidly
- Rhossili cliffs
- Only experienced pilots should soar cliffs
- .
- Flying close to the NNW facing cliffs at Rhossili is a high risk activity. All pilots should exercise great caution when flying the cliffs, as a collapse there may result in contact with the terrain, which is mostly steep or vertical. The cliffs are far less forgiving than the main ridge, which is largely gently sloping. Pilots must not get blown back when flying cliffs - severe turbulence in lee.
