Description: 

A beautiful site with excellent XC potential. Sennybridge danger area is directly downwind and must be avoided to fly more than 25km.

Access & parking: 

From Llanddewi Brefi, take the Mountain road to Ffarmers, at the "T" junction do not take the left turn to Ffarmers, continue straight on for 400m. You'll arrive at a straight piece of road with good views of the valley below. PLEASE meet your contact there before flying.

Bottom landing: 

We have been asked to use our best judgement to avoid landing in the fields on the near side of the road below launch.

Restrictions & notes: 

On the seventeenth of June 1999 a paraglider was attacked in the air by a Buzzard at Llanddewi Brefi. She (?) appears to have a nest in the deciduous woods to the north of take off. She will harass any thing (she can catch) at less than a hundred feet above the hill. There have also been problems with red kites attacking paragliders in the same area.
