| Airspace: | GLASGOW SRZ |
| National Grid Reference: | NS221 534 |
| Wind Direction: | West to North West. |
| Brief Site Description: | A lovely spot facing out over Arran - often good for evening soaring. Mild thermic fun mixed in as well Best winds: W, WNW, NW. Any S in it and its rubbish. XC potential - severely limited by airspace restrictions and (?) sea breeze. |
| How to get there: | See the map, or better contact Sean or Kenny for a site briefing. |

| Launch Notes: | Hang-gliders: Carry up from the road, plenty space to rig and launch |

| XC Tips: | Due to height restriction and airspace behind, it's not a good XC site. Possible XC route is to fly SE, leaving the "box" through the south side. |
| Top Landing Notes: | HG top landing is possible, but beware of rotor and soft uneven ground. Paragliders can top land anywhere, but beware of soft / uneven ground. |
| Bottom Landing Notes: | Hang-gliders: Beach at low tide, mind the exclusion zone. | Paragliders: as per HG, or you may ask Sean and Kenny for the alternatives. |
