Before you goStatus You must not fly alone at this site. The site should be open throughout 2011 but check the sign on the gate. This site sometimes closes for lambing each April and May (exact closure day depends upon the date of Easter and the state of the ewes – normally about 10th April: opening always 1st June). XC Please study your Air-map carefully. Just try getting to Milk Hill! The best thermals break off from the top of Rybury enclosure so go there (in light winds) when you get

Getting there

Location OS Grid Ref SU 084 637 Landranger 173, Pathfinder 1185. Parking Parking is approximately 1 mile along the track, approximately 200 yards before the lower barns. Access Rybury can be reached by walking westwards from the track through the gate and alongside the fence towards the hilltop.

Weather

Landing in the col (the gap) at the top of the bowl may result in being blown back into dangerous rotor! If the wind picks up it is generally safest to land on the shallow spur below Rybury hill fort.
