6 facts checked against the Southern Hang Gliding Club guide
The read

Comes alive on a NNE through ENE. A long ridge feeds a big north-east bowl, though the bowl can read lighter than it really is.

Is it my level

CP rated, an honest ridge-soaring bowl with room to learn the Downs.

Launch

Launch along the north-east ridge into the bowl.

Landing

Top land on the ridge above the bowl.

Getting there

Gated club car park; the Barley Mow at Selmeston is the local. Postcode BN26 6UW.

The catch

In a NNE the quarry behind throws rotor and a venturi that flatters the wind. Rabbit burrows underfoot, and shooting in the quarry woods in season.

Who do I ask

Southern Hang Gliding Club
