| Launch Notes: | Hang-gliders: Due to this being a non - club PG training site. It is not expected that HG will use this site. Broughton is usually preferable in a westerly anyway. |
| Paragliders: Easy launch from anywhere on hill depending on wind strength. | |
| XC Tips: | OK for XC but fir tree plantations dominate the downwind landscape for a few kms. Current (2001) Site record is 18km to Broughton, set by Alistair Harvey(PG) |
| Top Landing Notes: | Smooth flat top ideal for landing - no vices |
| Bottom Landing Notes: | Hangliders: n/a | Paragliders: In the bottom field beside the road, but remember this is a training site where students have priority. Give them lots of room. |
| Hazards: | Hazards are walls and fences around fields. Railway and river in front of hill should not be close enough to constitute a hazard. RAF often fly this area midweek. |
| Special Rules: | All permissions and liason via Peter Shields. Remember this is a school training site and first day students could be in the air. |
