Takeoff description

Rating: Any rated pilot. No training. Permission: This is an Open Site. Please abide by Avon Club Rules and if you are not a club member read the section for Non-Members. Parking: Park in the car park on the north side at the south end, inside the gate. Do not park on the grass. Rigging: Walk up to the saddle and follow the path going north. Take Offs: Any clear spot. Local Flying: The ridge is small and so is the lift band so take care. Pilots should be aware of the bushes and the possibility of being blown back as it is a spine-back ridge. XC Flying: Small site and not often used but may offer potential for paragliders. Top Landing: It is a spine-back ridge so top landing on a hang-glider is not recommended. Depending on the vegetation, it is possible to land a paraglider near the top of the hill. Telephones: On the road to the north of the car park. Hospitals: Stroud or Gloucester.
