Located in South-East Wales, UK, this paragliding site offers a height of 420-436 meters with a height difference of 270 meters. It's regularly used and known for nice soaring conditions and good cross-country (XC) potential. Top landing is considered normal here. The site is open to all suitably insured hang glider and paraglider pilots. The minimum rating required for both hang gliding and paragliding is CP (Club Pilot). The wind direction ranges from SW to WNW (225° - 293°), with the best direction being W (270°). For more information, you can view the site guide and site map. The South East Wales Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club manages this site, and you can contact them via their website: http://www.sewhgpgc.co.uk/ or through https://webcollect.org.uk/sewhgpgc. Take-off points include: - West: Minimal carry. Be cautious of possible hang glider overshoot on top landing. - Southwest: Very short carry up. Shallow take-off for hang gliders from the top of the ridge. Watch out for paragliders launching lower down. - North: Carry across to the trig point. Mainly used for training. Road access is from the south at Mount Pleasant, as the track from the north is closed. Parking varies by take-off point: - West & North Take-off: Park well back behind the wooden post on the right-hand track or use the left-hand track and park at the base of the hill to the south of take-off. - Southwest Take-off: Park by the side of the road and carry up. Landing areas are extensive and fairly flat, but watch out for rotor towards the top of the track on the right-hand side. Paraglider slope landings can be challenging due to steep, rough ground and debris. There is no bottom landing field, but shoulder landings are possible to the north of the main ridge. This site is friendly with excellent XC potential. The main ridge can support more than 50 gliders in good conditions, although this capacity reduces as the wind shifts north or south. The north face is small and primarily used for training but can be soared in the right conditions. Be cautious of hazards such as a sharp wind gradient in the top landing area and strong sink in the lea of the hill. Avoid landing too far back. Do not land in the sports field adjacent to the railway line unless it's an emergency.
