6 facts checked against the Southern Hang Gliding Club guide

The read

Takes anything from NW through NNE. A wide, forgiving bowl, though trees in it break up the flow so it can feel rougher than the wind reads.

Is it my level

CP rated, a kind place to put in airtime on the Downs.

Launch

Launch into the north-facing bowl above the village.

Landing

Top land above the village.

Getting there

Middle Farm nearby has services. Postcode BN8 6NA.

The catch

A strong north-east brings serious rotor and a venturi that under-reads the strength. Rabbit holes pepper the top.

Who do I ask

Southern Hang Gliding Club steward this site. The takeoff and landing photos, the full rules and who to ring live in their guide.
