Power lines behind, and down-wind of take-off. Don’t get blown back! Possible rotor if slope landing at the base of the slope
Once flying and to the left above the trees some good heights are possible. If there is some south in the wind it’s possible to soar the trees overlooking the Lea.
The run to Blackpool Sands is not difficult given sufficient height, though there are limited bottom landing options beyond Matthew Point and beyond Blackpool Sands no bottom landing. Paragliders have occasionally crossed Blackpool Sands and flown at Stoke Fleming and beyond.
