DESCRIPTION

Owing to the gentle contours of the south easterly site it is mainly soarable in stronger winds and often there is a fine line between the site being soarable and becoming too strong. For paragliders the North site is rated PG2 but the South East site is rated PG2 plus 30 hours. For hang gliders both sites are rated Intermediate.

Permission should be confirmed from the ranger before taking any vehicles into the park and only the minimum number of vehicles should be taken. Arrange to go in convoy, the balance of vehicles being left in the parking area before passing through the padlocked gate. The ranger is particularly concerned over pilots flying on their own. The rules do not permit this anyway but please respect this request or we are likely to lose the privilege of flying here.
