DESCRIPTION
A minimal carry to take-off. The site can be turbulent in strong winds. Care and control is needed when launching paragliders in strong winds, as take-off is narrow, with rigged hang gliders and vehicles close by. The true wind speed can be much higher than at launch. If in doubt check at the top of the hill.Flying: Up to 20 gliders can be accommodated in the right conditions, but it can be turbulent in strong winds. Wave is quite common.Hazards: Beware of moving vehicles and rotor from parked cars if you top land close to the road.
Other rules: Do not land in the field adjacent to and to the South of take-off. If you accidentally land in any field carry out by the gate. Do not climb walls or fences.
This site is often used by model aircraft pilots, please respect their right to fly as well as your own.
Site status: Open site - This site may be flown by suitably insured visiting hang glider & paraglider pilots.
Access
From Tredegar on minor roads towards Markham.
Parking: Park along the edge of the road ensuring enough space is left for gliders landing, or being carried forward across the road.
