This site favours winds from the South. A large flat area to the rear seemingly allows for relatively straight forward landings, however this is complicated by a low fence. The slope itself is relatively short.
Access to the rear field when your landing falls short requires a time consuming walk back to the entrance gate. The Sheep seem friendly enough though.
Access
Parking is limited to the side of the relatively narrow Coal Pit Road. Although there is a shallow parking/passing area directly opposite the public footpath entrance, which can provide parking for a small number of cars.
Once parked, there is a public footpath up the hill which provides straightforward access. Once at the "top" turn towards the right and follow the path round and over the gate into the flying field.
