The read

A 15m coastal cliff on a SSW through WSW sea breeze.

Is it my level

CP plus twenty hours, local flights only. Members only.

Launch

Inflate on the beach away from the cliff, walk back until the lift starts, then crab upwind to the cliff and settle into the band.

Landing

Top land on the cliff edge where it drops, or the beach when the tide allows.

Airspace

Capped at 2,000ft above the surface.

Getting there

Park on Cliff Road by the toilets and walk west along the beach to the low cliffs.

The catch

High tide reaches the cliff with a drowning risk, and the beach hides rubbish and sharp stones that wreck gear. Busy with walkers, with venturi in strong wind and cliff rotor.

Who do I ask

Watch the rotor behind the bowl in this NE, stayed well out front.
