Westbury White Horse


DESCRIPTION

The White Horse is an excellent XC site when the wind is West or WNW as thermals come off Westbury Town. You can fly east along the Danger Area and along the Pewsey Vale.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- flatland
- hanggliding
- soaring
- thermals

weather

In an West to Northwest we often get out-of-phase wave gusts at takeoff but once airborne it's ok.

access

Take the A350 to Westbury town and then the B3098 to Bratton Village. In the village take the turn up the hill to the top car park area.

regulation

Site rules: don't land anywhere along the sides of the ridges except in front of the White Horse hill carving. Don't land in any bottom field except the emergency landing field. Do not enter the Salisbury Danger Area directly behind (to the south) the site. There are lots of military traffic around the site so keep a good lookout if you get high.
