| landing | Slope land, or top land as appropriate, but see hazards. The bottom landing area is the field just beyond the fence at the bottom of the slope (see area marked on map). |
| weather | Landing in the col (the gap) at the top of the bowl may result in being blown back into dangerous rotor! If the wind picks up it is generally safest to land on the shallow spur below Rybury hill fort. |

| comments | Status You must not fly alone at this site. The site should be open throughout 2011 but check the sign on the gate. This site sometimes closes for lambing each April and May (exact closure day depends upon the date of Easter and the state of the ewes – normally about 10th April: opening always 1st June). XC Please study your Air-map carefully. Just try getting to Milk Hill! The best thermals break off from the top of Rybury enclosure so go there (in light winds) when you get high. Full TVHGC Members only. Please see Restrictions. Wind Direction / Details SW-NW 0.5km ridge and a little bowl 65m high. Restrictions The site is limited to Full TVHGC members only. Just to be clear – Reciprocal and Guest members are currently not allowed to use this site. This site is now managed under an access agreement and we are only allowed to fly there on 20 days per year, bank holiday weekends are excluded. When you fly the site you should log its use by posting an entry in the ‘Flying Diary’. You must not fly alone at this site. . Suitable for all levels of pilot, but watch out for strong thermals on sunny spring days. Sensitivity The club has recently experienced problems with Rybury and its overuse. The farmer is very concerned about pilots flying unaccompanied and the possibility of a casualty lying untended on the hill. There is a £50 penalty, payable to Oxfam via the farmer if you do. All vehicles must pay £1.50 (to a different farmer) at the clearly sign posted toll box to use the track, this toll is payable even if you do not fly |
