DESCRIPTION

Flying: A very scenic site situated on a main road. Any flying usually attracts a crowd. A committed take-off is required to clear the fence, and care needed until height is gained. Hazards: Most hazards are obvious, the trees, the main road, the reservoir, etc. But beware of the power lines out of sight to the left of take-off. These can be difficult to see as they run from the cliff top down to the trees, at about 45° to the hill. Beware also of sailplanes from the nearby club. There are no opt-outs, and the bottom landing field requires great care and can be difficult to reach in strong winds. A pre-flight check is essential Other rules: This site is flown courtesy of Mr Mervyn Morgan, who bought and fenced the land some years ago. He lives in Rhigos, and therefore any breaking of the rules will not go unnoticed, and could prejudice the site. Site status: Open site - This site may be flown by suitably insured visiting hang glider & paraglider pilots.
