From A49 via Dorrington follow Cardington/Church Preen. Straight on at the cross roads and over the saddle, take the first farm entrance to the right. Park in the first field on the right. Walk to T/O up the back of the ridge via the gate provided. In good conditions it is possible to take off at this point and work up the ridge to the left but a walk up the ridge gives increasing likelihood of soaring. Most PG’s take this option, most HG’s do not!
T/O altitude: Lower - 850 ft AMSL, Upper - 1240 ft AMSL
Top to bottom: Lower - 350 ft, Upper - 740 ft
Take-off is Straightforward
Top landing is virtually impossible for HG
Bottom landing for HGs (see map) is technically straightforward but there are many POWER LINES. Check field availability and condition before flying. Do NOT LAND in any other field except in real emergency. The ridge is low at T/O end - leave sufficient height for the glide into wind. CLOSE ALL GATES. Paragliders should slope land where possible and only land in cut fields.
