Before you goSevere turbulence downwind of the large tree at the foot of the hill has caused two serious accidents in recent years, so give it a wide berth.

7 facts checked against the Sky Surfing Club guide

The read

A smooth east-facing slope on a NNE through E, soarable along its length.

Is it my level

Members and reciprocals only; a CP must keep to local flights.

Launch

A clean slope clear of obstructions, shallower toward the bottom; launch anywhere along it.

Landing

Top land inside the boundary but off the downwind half of launch, away from the back hedge. Bottom land the top half of the marked area when no cattle are next door.

Airspace

Southampton airspace caps it at 3,000ft, so carry GPS and an airspace alarm.

Getting there

Off the A3(M) to Clanfield, then East Meon and Warnford; designated parking 100m south of the gates, off the road.

The catch

Severe turbulence downwind of the large tree at the hill's foot, the site of two serious accidents. The back hedge makes top landing risky.
