About This Spot
There is plenty of room for taking off at either end of the quarry but the slope at the south end is of a gentler gradient and therefore easier to manage in strong conditions.
An excellent site for thermalling and crosscountry flying over friendly terrain.
The ridge itself is fairly short and can get a bit crowded in light soaring conditions.
Takeoff altitude: 550m

Access Notes
From M4 J45, drive all the way up the Swansea valley on the A4067 passing the Dan Yr Ogof Showcaves and up over the mountain pass. As you pass the Cray Reservoir on your left , you will see a right-turning signposted to Heol Senni. Turn here and continue for just over 2km and turn right up a stony track just after the cattle grid. Park in a space clear of the track and walk up the hill. Hanglider pilots are recommended to drive as far along the track as possible as the carry-up is easier from the south end of the hill.
