NW–N
Context only, never a go-call
Open-Meteo
A NNW through NNE bowl, the far end of the same ridge as Devil's Dyke.
Pilot rated, with top and slope landings signed off.
Launch within the fence lines either side of the radio mast, which mark the site limits.
Top land inside the boundaries, or bottom land at the base of the slope, in the L-shaped field, or the training field to the right.
Shoreham's ATZ lies directly downwind to the south, so do not drift back into it.
Off the road between Poynings and Tottington Manor; a lay-by at the bottom, keep the gates clear. Postcode BN5 9NL.
The lower slopes above the training field are steep and unforgiving to land on, and rabbit holes are everywhere. Trees and the radio masts sit right behind the ridge top.
