About This Spot

Take-off: Anywhere into wind but the best spot is the small bowl just in front of the rigging area about 40 yds SW of the trig point. The available take off area’s are small. It may not be possible to keep a good separation between hang gliders and paragliders. Paraglider pilots will be aware of the risk of being blown back if there is a strong wind. Do not launch in front of parked gliders. If intending to take off in front of the landing area you will be in the line of any overshoot. Both hang gliders and paragliders should not loiter here prior to take off and should clear the area after take off. Check above and behind before launch, with assistance if necessary.

Access Notes

The track up to Carlton Bank is marked as a Bridleway, (green hatched lines with diamonds). As part of the Coast-to-Coast, Lyke Wake Walk, Cleveland Way, it is a well marked footpath, with sign posts and millstones set into the ground. Either follow the dolomite track to the gliding club, 15 -20 mins or the harder more direct route (clearly marked) to the cairn, up and round past the quarry. Take-off is about 50m past the cairn (408m) in the natural shallow hollow just off the path. The area used by hang gliders to rig and set up is quite noticeable as a rectangle of grass, where the heather has been worn away.
