Penmaenbach
This is a large headland with a 1/2 mile soarable face. It is possible to go right, along the northerly faces to Conwy when the wind is right.
Getting to take-off:
Take-off is approached by foot. Do not drive up the track. Park in the small car park at the top of the Sychnant Pass (SH 750 770) and walk about 3/4 mile to the take-off area (about SH 750 780).
Landing:
Top landing is possible on the open moorland behind take-off, but serious rotor has been experienced. Bottom landing is on the beach. Do not leave it too late to break away from the hill as there's a lot of serious stuff to fly over - roads, railways and campsites.
Don'ts:
- Park blocking any tracks or gateways.
- Park in the entrance to Morfa Caravan Park.
- Try to land on the beach at high tide, there isn’t one!
- Land on the golf course at Penmaenmawr or Conwy.
Challenges:
- Can suffer a lot of rotor if trying to top land.
- Getting over the A55 and the Railway if you scratch the hillside too low. In other words give yourself time to make it.
