Can get rough flying and top landing in strong winds due to ridge in front on the other side of the valley (more applicable to hang-gliders).

Many on a good day.

Take the A481 out of Builth Wells, turn off right after approx. 3 miles to farm. Drive through farm and follow the track up the west side of the hill. This track is very steep and has loose rubble on it, so four-wheel drive is recommended. If you use this access route, £2 per vehicle is payable to the farmer (Geoff, or maybe Jeff).

Don't block farmyard when parking by bottom landing field.

Drive east along the top of the hill until you find a suitable place to take off.

The field to right of the barns on the hill side of the farm track. This field slopes away from the hill to the middle then up with a fairly steep incline.

All pilots must be members of the BHPA.

Best in a NW direction to give most possible miles. The first 8 miles are over hills and long carry out is possible.

Farm below take off.
