Height: 247 meters, Height Difference: 200 meters This site is rarely used and is primarily for local soaring with various takeoff options. The region is in the UK. The site record is 16.1 km. For more details, visit [Fly South Wales](https://www.flysouthwales.co.uk/). Watch a video of the site [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4h-kpzkac). Minimum Rating for Hang Gliding: CP Minimum Rating for Paragliding: Pilot Wind Direction: ENE - SSE (067° - 135°) Best Direction: E (090°) This site is open to suitably insured visiting hang glider and paraglider pilots. Takeoff: There are two takeoff areas, Southeast and East. Access to both is by foot only, involving a long, hard carry up. Be cautious of rotor behind the East takeoff. Road Access: Accessible by minor roads from Pentyrch. Parking: Turn right onto the narrow road that runs along the base of the hill and park in the lay-by. Note that this road is subject to subsidence and may sometimes be inaccessible from Gwaelod-y-Garth. The carry up the SE side of the hill is quite steep. Landing: The top landing area (A) is quite large and fairly flat, but the steep slope of the front of the hill makes slope landings difficult for paragliders. The bottom landing field (B) is on the East side and can be challenging to reach if winds are off to the North. Low power cables run through the middle of the undulating bottom landing field and along the road. Do not pass gliders over the hedge; the owner lives in the adjacent farm. Please carry gliders out via the farm track. Flying: This site has limited capacity, with a maximum of two gliders soaring at any one time. It can provide pleasant flying in light evening winds, but strong winds can cause turbulence behind the trees and quarries. Hazards: The bottom landing field is tricky and worth a pre-flight visit. Other Rules: Do not land in fields on the Southeast side. Site Status: Open site - This site may be flown by suitably insured visiting hang glider and paraglider pilots.
