This site is occasionally used for soaring, with some potential for coastal cross-country flights. It is often a turning point for flights from or to Horden. Watch videos of the site: [Video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu26kAH1sXs) [Video 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwO6Pc5W4yM&index=79&list=PLKwh39To6V_Lo1yUo1s8JaA84Bdqr3P6R) For more details, visit the [site page](http://www.aviabird.net/nhpc/temp1.1.php?id=18) and the [club website](http://www.nhpc.org.uk/). Site Status: There are no lambing or shooting restrictions at this site. Location Info: Grid Reference: NZ 423 508 OS Map: Landranger 88 Wind: Best flown in EAST to EAST NORTHEAST winds. Height: 69 feet above mean sea level (amsl). Road Access: From the A19 south, take the first Seaham exit (B1404) and follow this road down to the coast. Parking: Public car park on the cliff top next to Tonia's cafe. Take Off: Launch from the grassy area between the car park and the cliff edge. Landing: Top landing is in the same area as the launch. Bottom landing is possible, but the beach below the launch may not always be available as you fly further north towards Sunderland. Flying: The take-off area is quite low, but the cliff becomes higher and more defined as you fly further north. If the wind is from the north, Crimdon might be a better place to fly. Hazards: Be mindful of the tide when top landing out. Certain parts of the cliff top can be affected by rotor. Watch out for spectators when launching and landing.
