SITE RULES:
There are no specific rules relating to this site. Just remember to follow the country code, fly sensibly and keep a look out for members of the public.
Take-off: Where suitable.
Landings: Top: Landing close to the edge can be turbulent due to ROTOR. Landing well behind take-off is best but the field is often in crop, so land to the right of the path from the car park to take-off.
Bottom: The beach is OK if the tide is low enough.
Comments: Flying at nearby Blackhall may be better if the wind is crossed from the north.
