Launch Notes: Be 120% certain of lift before launching. If in doubt – don’t. It is a very short carry from the car park to the rigging area.

The club has negotiated permission to fly just inside the ATZ but all pilots must ensure that they contact Perranporth ATC before flying.

Approaching St. Agnes from the A30 turn left at the mini roundabout. Continue straight on along the narrow winding road. The “main” road bears left where Chapel Porth Beach is sign posted. Keep on the “main” road. Turn left down a lane toward the sea. There is a height barrier which may be a problem for vans with roof loads. At the T junction turn right into a parking area. Vehicle Access & Parking: There is an obvious parking area. Please leave room for cars to enter and exit.
Hazards: The obvious hazard of flying a site with absolutely no bottom landing and flying with radio controlled aeromodellers. The radio hut west of launch is used by radio hams who have a CAA license to fly a kite aerial up to 600 feet. Restricted Areas: Be aware Perranporth Airfield ATZ. Airspace: This site is in a Military Low Flying Area. Perranporth Airfield ATZ is 100 yards east of launch. C
