SE Wales Hang Gliding & Paragliding Forums

Snowdonia Sky Sports have announced that their flying site at Harlech Cliff in North Wales is now Closed.

Following a complaint to the National Trust about the number of pilots flying there in April, the National Trust has withdrawn permission to use the Llanfair/Harlech Cliffs takeoff (SH 574 295).

While Snowdonia Sky Sports work to resolve the situation they have asked all pilots to respect the sensitivity of the situation and not use that take-off. There is an alternative take-off at Merthyr farm, but contrary to other information on the internet, there is a fee of £1 per person for parking.

As they point out in their sites guide they are flying in a National Park and an incident (including an access issue) could easily put the majority of their sites at risk. There could well be delicate ongoing negotiations or disputes that visitors have no knowledge of, so please respect Snowdonia Sky Sports flying sites as you would our own.

Snowdonia Sky Sports will be updating their website as more information becomes available: http://www.snowdoniaskysports.co.uk
