Rules and notes
MEMBERS-ONLY SITE. Register with the Southern Hang Gliding (and Paragliding) Club (SHGC) for DAY or ANNUAL membership before flying. Permission to fly any SHGC site is sensitive, and can be easily lost. Flying is permitted only on the proviso that pilots follow the landowners' explicit rules, which members can find in the Site Guide on the club website. Members also have access to club Telegram groups, for on-site weather reports and paragliding-related support and chat, and one-to-one coaching on request. Always ask for a Site Brief from a member, if it's the first time you've flown this site.
