Turn off the A488 at a derelict tower signposted Whitegrit/Priestweston 2km to a T junction. Take the rough track to the left. After 100m through a gate which MUST BE CLOSED after passing. Approx 1 km to a gate on the left at the far edge of a pine plantation. Park on the track and walk to T/O (right from the track). No vehicles to be taken across to T/O.
T/O altitude 1350 ft AMSL
Top to bottom 600 ft
Take-off is straightforward but the ridge is short.
Top landing is restricted and rotor awaits at the rear.
Bottom landing is easy in the flat field marked but is a long glide over power lines. There are reasonable alternatives in an emergency.

This area is used by low flying military aircraft on weekdays.
A25 is immediately in front at FL 65 (min altitude 5500ft amsl). Halfpenny Green ATZ at 30m.
