| takeoff | Take off, very small area with a fence 15m behind ! (PG's) best to take off lower down to the south of the ridge HG's - this is a very steep ridge with strong lift make sure you get your nose down & your wings level before taking off ! |
|---|---|
| landing | Take care if top landing behind the walled section there is rotor. Don't go down in the trees. The trees produce rotor and turbulence in a strong westerly. Bottom landing (HG) the field slopes down into wind ! best to come in as low as possible as to avoid over shooting. |

| access | From the A697 at Powburn head north towards Wooler. At the sawmill turn right onto the B6346. Follow this to a T junction and turn left. This road will bring you beneath Old Bewick. Then either: a) Just past a large stone barn, turn right at a row of cottages and follow a rutted lane through gates past the parking area for Old Bewick to the lane's end. Follow the path as marked on the map (1) or; b) Continue along the road for ½ mile and turn right up a lane signposted `Bewick Folly'. Drive through the farm with the barns on your left, stop at the double gates just past the last of the buildings. Park here or continue (4x4 recommended) through the double gates and drive across the field (fence on your right) park at the next gate and walk up. |
| comments | A long escarpment on the eastern side of the Glendale Valley, 2/3 of which is forested. A rock covered face with heather and grass. Works best in westerly wind but will take a bit of south. |
