For more detailed information, visit the DHPC site guide: [Cow Close Fell Site Guide](http://www.dhpc.org.uk/site-guide/cow-close-fell). **Site Details:** - **Status:** Green - **Site Officer:** North (sites_north@dhpc.org.uk) - **Site Reference:** 17.003 (Use for CANP mid-week) - **Wind Direction:** NNE – NE (025 – 045) - **Coordinates:** 54.154978, -2.157331 - **OS Grid:** SD 890 732 - **Height:** 1870ft AMSL, 300ft top to bottom of fell, 1030ft top to bottom landing field by river **Grade of Flyer:** Suitable for all types of flyers, except when making bottom landings. Be aware of the hazards listed below. **Parking:** Drive through Litton and park at the bottom of the track before the river, preferably on the right without blocking the track, gates, or the fell track. Sturdy vehicles can be taken up the rough track partway up the fell to SD 885742, where limited parking is available. **Access:** Enter via gates to the left from SD 885 742 and onto the fell. **Capacity:** The landowner requests a limit of 6 pilots on the hill at any one time. **Hazards:** - Very bad turbulence can occur in the valley bottom in strong winds, especially under wave conditions. - A wire fence runs along the bottom of the ridge; be aware of its position before flying as it is difficult to spot from the air. **Rules:** - Landings are permitted only in the large field in the valley bottom. Collapse gliders on landing, de-rig, and remove from the field quickly to avoid attracting spectators. - Do not climb the wire fence along the bottom of the ridge; use the gates at the NW end. - Follow the Countryside Code and do not climb walls. **Other Comments:** - The site involves a long walk. - On sunny days, mowed fields in the valley bottom can provide good lift. - There is a refreshing spring at the base of the fell. **Owner:** Fell and bottom fields are owned by Mr. Steven Lund, West Farm, Litton (01756 770213). **Nearest Landline / Mobile Reception:** Available at Litton.
