The upper slope is fairly shallow but quickly steepens. On stronger days launch near to the steepening to avoid venturi. On lighter days there is ample space on launch but be aware of the barbed wire fence at the top of the site.

From the top of the hill, the slope steepens very gradually. Paragliders beware strong venturi and getting dragged back into barbed wire fence. The site is shared with aero modellers. They were using the site first. Be polite and courteous at all times. Always speak to them before flying to agree a mutually safe flying pattern. Military Low Flying Light Aircraft from Compton Abbas
