Bishops Hill

Park in Kinneswood near the primary school taking care not to park too close to the foot of the hill or block the gate at the top of the road! 25min walk up. Takes SW,W and NWrly. Take off is nice... huge flat area at the top and plenty of space for top landing.

Great site for soaring. Has xc potential but not for huge distances due to the Firth of Tay, Firth of Forth and the North Sea downwind on most XC routes. Airspace considerations on most xc routes from the Hill (Glenrothes airport and Leuchars). Flights of around 30 to 40 km can be done in good conditions. Site takes mainly a West - North West wind direction, but will also easily accomodate a South Westerly wind direction.
When speedflying be careful with paragliders and sailplanes occasionaly passing at or below ridge level.

Takeoff altitude: 432m
