Pre-flight Contact
- Mr. Lewis, Gribin Farm. SH 850062
- Mr. Jones, Brynmeurig Farm. SH 852053. Must pay £2.
Access and parking
- Via Gribin Farm. Call at farmhouse before using track. FWD required to top. Paraglider pilots can drive to base of hill (track next to forest) and walk the rest.
- Call at Brynmeurig. Pay £2 site fee and leave name in hall if nobody in. If the gate across the main track is open, close it after you go through. If the gate is locked, get key from Mr Jones. Much better track than access 1.
Bottom landing
- Low approach over bottom gate by forest and land in SW direction in field at SN 857059.
- Field at SH 855054 (650 ft TTB).
Restrictions & other notes
Unsuitable for paragliders in higher winds because of windmills.
On a good XC day the sea breeze can set in as early as 10.30 am which will put the lid on thermals.
When the wind is NW it is possible to get a good cloud street formation off the Cadair Idris range.
Also possible to fly the South end of the ridge, but any slope landings must be above the fence which runs across the hill face.
