| Brief Site Description: |
A little flown site but an excellent one with a friendly
farmer. The biggest smoothest hill with no rocks ever! |
| How to get there: |
A couple of miles NW of the village of Carsphairn just of the
A713 from Ayr to Dumfries. Take the last turn on the right
(driving S) before Carsphairn and drive up a good track
pass Garryhorn Farm (stop and say hello?) to park at the old
mine workings. |

| Launch Notes: |
Hang gliders: unknown, perhaps like PGs |
| Paragliders: as per HG |
| XC Tips: |
committing as there are a lot of trees and a large loch to cross
over the back and opportunities are generally less common with a
SE airmass |
| Top Landing Notes: |
unknown |
| Bottom Landing Notes: |
Hang-gliders: unknown, perhaps like PGs |
Paragliders: near the cars |
| Hazards: |
beware of the compression at the back of the bowl and turbulence at
the right edge of the bowl in higher winds. Take care before
venturing into next bowl to the WSW(?) as this will hoover you up
in high winds. |
