Height: 315 meters This site is rarely flown due to the difficulty of getting airborne. Local soaring is possible, but no flight logs have been found. Club: Devon & Somerset Condors http://www.dscondors.co.uk/ Wind direction: NE Grid reference: SS 864 464 Northing: 86400 Easting: 46400 Directions: Drive out of Porlock on the A39 toward Lynton. At the top of Porlock Hill, you will find a cattle grid. Turn right immediately after the cattle grid onto a track. At the end of the tree line on the right, there is a gate leading to the take-off and top landing field. The farmer has granted access along this track, which may need to be politely pointed out to Exmoor Rangers. Owners: Mr. B. Palmer, Court Place Farm, Porlock Guidelines: This site used to be a hang gliding training site, but coastal erosion has removed the old landing fields. The trees in front of the takeoff are difficult to clear in light winds and can be dangerous due to rotor in strong winds. Bottom Landing: Land in any of the bottom fields that do not have stock, crops, or water. Check before flying. To retrieve, drive from Porlock towards Porlock Weir. About 1.5 miles on the right, you will see an asbestos farm building. The track next to it leads to the bottom landing fields. Top Landing: Top landing is in the takeoff field. Note that the top landing area is small for hang gliders. XC Potential: The site can be thermic, and flights have been made over the back. However, the land rises quickly, so you need to be climbing well. There is a good ridge run west along the coast for 20 miles to Ilfracombe, but there are no bottom landings and a significant risk of going down into the sea and rocks. Hazards: Beware of a hole on the slope. Make sure you are off the ground before reaching the pile of rocks. Be cautious of rotor on takeoff in strong winds. Do not fly in strong winds.
