Quite a nice site to fly when conditions are soarable. Wave is not uncommon, and good height gains are possible even in winter. Can be a good alternative to Pandy. Watch out for subsidence cracks near take-off.

A 100m carry along the NE track to take-off. The take-off area is large and flat, and the hill has a nice rounded front. Take care not to stumble in the subsidence cracks near take-off. They can be obscured by ground cover. The top landing area (A) is large, flat and free from any real obstructions. There is also a large flat shoulder to the north of take-off. This can be turbulent if the wind is off to the South. There is no suitable bottom landing field. Paraglider pilots can slope land on the front of the hill, but should be aware of the rough nature of the ground. Hang glider pilots should make an early decision to land on the north shoulder, if they can not gain sufficient height to top land. From the A465 na. na.
