DESCRIPTION

The site is for Dunstable HG & PG Club members only. Due to the difficult launch, this site is not recommended for the inexperienced. If the wind is off to the north the bowl to the right of launch works well. When flying south along the ridge, don’t cross the road without plenty of height as the air can be rough low down over Oakley Hill due to the cement works. Have about 750ft above take off before crossing the gap. Once past the quarries the ridge bends back into wind and works well in stronger winds, however in thermic conditions you could end up going down fast. There are lots of landing options here, best bet is to fly to the road to your left and land in the left hand field by the road.
