Mynd PG bottom landing again...

Created on 2010-07-09; updated on 2010-07-09.

The bottom landing for paragliders at the Mynd is still temporarily closed, even though the grass is cut. It’s drying now.…

There is a slight change to the temporary landing field. Now, you should use the field FOUR fields to the left of the usual bottom landing (left as you look from launch). This is a very large, square field, cut. May have sheep in. It is the same side of the road as the normal field. Slopes a bit. Cable running across the top (i.e. the ridge side).

Mynd PG field closed

Created on 2010-06-05; updated on 2010-06-05.

The bottom landing for paragliders at the Mynd is temporarily closed, until the farmer is able to cut the grass for hay. This will probably take a couple of weeks, depending on the weather.

In the meantime, use the field immediately to the left of the usual bottom landing (left as you look from launch). This has fence posts going across it, but the wire between them has been removed. There is also a power line going across the bottom corner of the field. Neither of these obstacles should be a problem - if you think they are, check out the field before flying.
