Elevation: 467 meters This site is rarely used and primarily a soaring location with top landing only. Minimum Rating for Hang Gliding: CP Minimum Rating for Paragliding: CP Wind Direction: ENE - ESE (065° - 105°) Best Direction: East (085°) This site is accessible to all suitably insured hang glider and paraglider pilots, with permission from the Trustees of the Llanover Estate. Take-off: A 100-meter carry along the NE track leads to the take-off area, which is large, flat, and has a nicely rounded front. Be cautious of subsidence cracks near take-off, as they can be obscured by ground cover. Road Access: From the A465 'Heads of the Valleys' road, take the A4046 to Ebbw Vale, and continue south to Cwm. As you leave the village, turn right onto a single-track road alongside a commercial haulier's yard. Drive over the bridge and up the steep hill. Turn right at the top and continue past Manmoel until the tarmac road turns to a rough track. Drive on for another 30 meters until you reach the turning onto the common on the right-hand side. Parking: Park along the edge of the track. Do not drive onto the common. Landing: The top landing area is large, flat, and free from significant obstructions. There is also a large flat shoulder to the north of take-off, which can be turbulent if the wind is from the south. There is no suitable bottom landing field. Paraglider pilots can slope land on the front of the hill but should be aware of the rough ground. Hang glider pilots should decide early to land on the north shoulder if they cannot gain sufficient height to top land. Flying: This site is quite pleasant to fly when conditions are soarable. Wave is not uncommon, and good height gains are possible even in winter. It can be a good alternative to Pandy. Hazards: Be cautious of subsidence cracks near take-off. Other Rules: Please do not drive onto the common. Site Status: Open site - This site may be flown by suitably insured visiting hang glider and paraglider pilots, with permission from the Trustees of the Llanover Estate.
