 |  | | | | | Directions: | From Oldham, take A62 signposted for Huddersfield. Turn right after the main junction at Delph, take first left up the hill. | | Access: | Vehicles must be parked completely off the track at the top of the hill. (OS SD 995077). Take footpath eastwards across one field to other side of the field, then turn northwards along Harrop Edge to take off area. | | Airspace: | Manchester CTA 3 000ft alt, 1900ft (580m) ato. | | Safety: | A very difficult site to fly. In some conditions the site can be affected by wave, wind speeds of 35mph have been measured at the take off site when winds of only 8mph have been measured above Standedge cutting. | | Hang Gliders: | Bottom landings are very difficult on Hang Gliders as the field slopes away steeply. | | Paragliders: | Very tight top landing, no bottom landings unless expert in side landing. Severe rotor and walls. | | Restrictions: | None, apparently the farmer would like to know if you are flying, rumour has it that he likes to watch. There is no formal agreement here. | | XC Potential: | None at all unless you can skirt around Manchester CTR. | | Site records: | HG: not known PG: not known |
