An east facing hill overlooking a railway line with restricted top and bottom landing areas that make this more suited to Paragliders. The site is a walk up with limited roadside parking. There is no farmer imposed restrictions on numbers but is only available from February through September. Should provide cross country potential and being our most easterly Paragliding site enjoys therefore the greatest distance before airspace restrictions are encountered.

ACCESS From the A3 turn off at signpost to Chalton. In village centre take left turn (immediately prior to Red Lion pub) and continue past road merging from the left, round left bend, and over the railway bridge. The site is the hill behind which is reached by the footpaths indicated on the site map. The southern footpath using the railway underpass is the easier climb.
PARKING Do not Park in the entrance to the horse stables. The only parking available is at the three road side locations indicated on the site map. Be considerate and do not park at the southern most area if a church service is likely.

If Mr. Fisk is at home you may ask for permission to park in his field just inside the gate by the stile as sometimes it is not cropped.
RIGGING At the crown of the hill to the north of the tumuli.
TAKE OFF From the front of the hill in front of the rigging area.
LANDING Bottom landing field is available when not in crop. If in doubt ask at the farm.
HAZARDS Railway line immediately in front and forming the lower slope boundary.
Power lines to the south cutting across the hill.

  2. If bottom landing is closed then this site is not suiable for hang-gliders and paragliders
