CHALBURY HILLFORT SLOPE SITE
From Coombe Valley Road drive into the small ancient quarry, turn right and drive through the gate but please close it behind you. Go up the concrete track and park at the next gate leaving it clear for access to the reservoir and BT site. There is room for 2-3 cars.
This is a Dorset Trust property and their rules apply (no power). Often grazed by sheep and walkers use the pathways. Walk to the top of the hillfort and launch.
Ideal in EASTERLY winds. No problems flying in a SE. Plenty of lift with 15mph winds.
Winds of a few degrees either side get funneled by the surrounding hills so therefore very good in lighter winds, flying over Sutton Poyntz is possible. Ideal for a foamie. No facilities.
