Takeoff description
IMPORTANT: CAN ONLY BE FLOWN AT WEEKENDS ABSOLUTELY NO MID WEEK FLYING PERMITTED Launching A fairly straight forward launch as shown on the site map. Top Landing The top landing area is small and occasionally turbulent with a lot of sink. It should be approached from the south-east with plenty of height. Bottom landing There is no official bottom landing on this site. No deliberate top to bottoms are permitted. Emergency bottom landing is available in the large field on the other side of the road. XC Potentially there is great scope from this site for XC, however some serious work and perhaps planning would be required to avoid airspace. Salisbury Plain danger area is probably the first obstacle you would meet at 35 Km. This area is permanently closed to free flyers.
