The forecast is the same. The local knowledge isn’t.
Before you make the drive, know the hill’s on, where to launch and land, and what’ll catch you out, the way the locals already do.
LiveSouthern Hang Gliding Club
Devil's Dyke
A classic South Downs ridge with a 2-mile run to Truleigh on its day. Friendly CP soaring, but the sea breeze writes the script.
Working window
W–N
Context only, never a go-call
Open-Meteo
Wants WNW through N. Watch the coast and the clock, not just the gradient: the sea breeze can arrive fast and turn the air severely, abruptly turbulent.
A NNE means wind shadow and severe rotor on takeoff. Power lines cross the ridge about halfway to Truleigh.

LiveSouth Downs
Beachy Head
Eastbourne's coastal classic: a forgiving bowl right beside a serious 500ft cliff, two very different flights off one hill.
LiveSouth Downs
Bo-Peep
A quiet easterly bowl on the Downs, friendly CP soaring when the wind sits in the north-east.
LiveSouth Downs
Butser North
The big north and north-east faces of Butser Hill, ridge and thermal lift on the highest of the Hampshire sites.
