Slope Soaring


There are numerous slope soaring sites catering for most directions on the island.

There are Park and Fly Sites for NE -E and S directions. These are the popular sites and flyers can often be found there on Weds evenings which is the club soaring night, before the meetup at the Creg n Bar on Wednesday evening. If you want to meet flyers and learn these are the suggested locations. These are the details for the two sites Windy Corner and Ben Y Pot. These are both located on the mountain TT course, at Windy Corner ( NE-E) and Brandy-well( S-SE) .

Parking is close to the slope on the side roads, and you walk to the slope edge, on a level walk, as denoted by the red circle.

These are pictures of the parking spots for the inland sites.
