Site briefing
https://w3w.co/albums.rattled.error About 400m from the road on the NW facing slope. If the modellers are flying, their area is west of the millennium-memorial stone. Please do not fly or rig in this area. There is a deep quarry immediately NE of takeoff to be avoided especially in stronger launch conditions.
Top landing: Land anywhere on the common, with the exception of any area being used by modellers. The area behind the take-off and the quarry can be turbulent in strong conditions, therefore land further back. Bottom landing: https://w3w.co/flute.grove.chair The field directly below take-off to the North of the road and West of the church. Be aware you will be flying over the road to get to the field. The road has a power line running along it and the field itself has a power line crossing its NE corner. The field also dips in the middle. Exit this field by the gate and walk East along the road until you reach the footpath to the common. If the field has young livestock in it the farmer (Mr. King) may well need us to use the flat field immediately SW. This will be notified by Telegram. Please do not land in any other fields as this has caused friction in the past, and do not drive into a field or farm access track to retrieve pilots and equipment. In case of any incident requiring the farmer to be contacted this can be done via the sites officer.
Pilot rating: Club Pilot. Restrictions: None
