About This Spot
Take the road from the pub and go in an anti-clockwise direction around the lake... follow the track up around the side of the ridge and behind... climb up here as it is easiest.
It will take you about 45-60 minutes to get to a suitable take off area on the top. The better launch areas are further to the southwest.
There is a house thermal right behind the church.
Beware the very tall trees of the forest park
Takeoff altitude: 355m
