Whitesheet

Paraguide summaryOpen in Maps
Is it your level?ParaglidingHang gliding

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.

Getting there

From Shaftesbury – Take the A30 towards Salisbury for 4.0 miles. Whitesheet is the hill that you see to your right. From Salisbury – Leave Salisbury on the A36 and, at the Wilton roundabout, turn left onto the A30 toward Shaftesbury. Follow the A30 for a total of 12.6 miles. After you see a road to the right signposted to Ansty, the track to White Sheet is on your left just a further 2.0 miles. Access The track up the hill is near a group of whitewashed cottages on the south side of the A30 (by 5mph sign) beneath the northern end of the hill opposite Sandy Lane. Follow the track

Weather

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.

Bit cross and gusty this afternoon, worth waiting for it to back off after 3.

Bottom field's clear, gate code's the usual. Cows in the top field, land short.
