Site briefing
Planning information for Keppel Gate
About this flying site
Keppel Gate (near the Creg-ny-Baa) is almost top driveable. There is only a short walk up the hill to take off after turning left on the track to the radio transmitter site. Not much has been done here so far but it has potential on the right day. The wind needs to be quite strong for ridge soaring.
