Klíčové informace
Podmínky
Travnatý kopec s dostatkem prostoru. Roztahovací kluzáky startují na okraji kopce před Gibbetem; paraglidisté startují 100 m na západ. Na vrcholu je lanová konstrukce, ale paraglidisté by měli startovat v místě, kde se svah zlomí, aby se vyhnuli tomu, že budou vtaženi na plot a poškodí ho. Všímejte si míst, která se v daný den používají ke startu, a vyhýbejte se létání před nimi.

From Hungerford on the A4, drive towards and through Inkpen. As you leave the village, the hill is in front of you. The road goes to the top. Last bit is gravel. Park on the gravel near the Gibbet (wooden pole with horizontal bar at the top).
