Site Details
A very good training and beginner site.
Gentle slopes at the 600 ft hill or at the playground flying site for training.
The 1000ft, 300m , take-off has a long recovery.
The last part of the road is very worn out
One can park in the saddle and walk the rest
Faster to walk up to 1000ft with your kit if you are fit.
Or give your kit to a vehicle and enjoy the walk up.
Easy to top land.
