Butser South
The club's gentle training and testing slope, a soft south-west incline for finding your feet.
Facts from the Sky Surfing Club guide · pilots are adding the local read
Before you goThe incline is so shallow that a modern glider easily overflies the normal bottom landing in fair air, so plan your descent.

SSW–WSW
Context only, never a go-call
Open-Meteo
A gentle SSW through WSW slope; it can suffer rotor when the wind is off to the west.
CP rated, and a CP must keep to local flights to stay insured. The natural place to build hours.
Launch immediately below the wooded area, with a backup slope to rig on.
Down the slope into the bowl, or a side landing onto the slope.
Through the gate east of the radio mast off the A3, or the QECP car park via the underpass.
Shallow ground means easy over-shoots of the bottom landing, and rotor in any west in the wind.
