Take off

Anywhere on the east end of the ridge.

Local Flying

The site can be very rough at times, so take care - at least one paraglider pilot has been blown back into the fence that runs along the spine of the hill.

XC Flying

Has good potential for paraglider XC flying. It can be difficult to get away from as you have to commit to leaving at a lower height than is usual. Beware of the wild-life park at Longleat, 2 miles to the N.

Top Landing

It is a spine backed ridge, so top landing is virtually impossible on a hang glider but paragliders can land on the side of the hill.

Bottom Landing

In the fields below the hill if they are not in crop - beware that they slope gently away from the hill. Look out for barbed wire fences. Paragliders can land on the side of, or at the foot of the hill in the same field as take-off.
