Please remember that the farmer is super-sensitive about people flying unaccompanied (£50 penalty to charity via me and him), walking up to Tan the wrong way, or landing outside the designated (awkward) landing areas (penalty £10 payable to him!). Otherwise he is very supportive.

Milk Hill

Milk Hill is still open for hang/paragliding till 30th April. Thereafter Natural England will require £5 (ilo £2) million public liability insurance. To obtain this contact the  BHPA 

The narrow triangular field below the road is closed 1st April to 31st August because of the butterflies. Outside that time pilots can land in it if they wish (especially if flying back towards their cars parked at the bottom by the barn), but do not fly right to the pointy end; there is a sensitive nest site in the scrub by the gate so please land 100 metres short of the gate.

Please also remember only 5 pilot cars are allowed in the top car park, if it's full drop off your kit quickly then park tidily at the lower barn. On your way up the track remember 10 mph max.
