Before you goNotify farmer Mr Moore. Great coastal site. This used to be an old favourite of the hang gliders. With easy climbs in a huge lift band to big height gains, caused by wave from the UK hills upwind across the sea. Not a great deal of paragliding done from here, but what has been done looks promising. Can be a little turbulent low down due to trees in front of take off.

Open-Meteo
By road from Hibernia track, then on foot through fields. Attention livestock.
Ridge soaring, some morning thermals and wave. Wave can set up from the Cumbrian hills and be in or out of phase, creating big lift or big sink depending on wave frequency which often changes with the state of the tide. Some local turbulence low down from trees in front of launch.
