Top landing for paragliders does not present a problem in light winds but is not safe in stronger conditions. If new to the site hang gliders should make dummy approaches first.
It can be difficult for hang gliders, and should be made behind the L-shaped wall. Top landing should not be made within 20m of the trig point. The rigging area and take-off is north of the summit path, same 50 metres beyond the summit. The ridge may be soared from Lord’s Seat to Lose Hill, although the easily soarable area close to take-off can be very small. It may provide an alternative to Lords Seat when the wind is shifting in the northwesterly quarter. This is a very popular site which may attract wave in favourable conditions. It is not suitable for hang-glidersĭaventry CTA at 4500′, Airway Amber 2 at FL65 to the East Paragliders usually land at Mam Nick, SK 124 834 / 463m. As such they should be prepared to fly out of lift and land to ensure the safety of all pilots using the site.
Should conditions improve and more lift becomes available pilots who chose to launch should bear in mind that the lift on this ridge is often cyclic and can switch off quickly. In conditions where there is limited amounts of lift and there are already 6 pilots in the air pilots should consider this ridge to be at capacity and avoid launching to reduce the chance of a mid air collision.
