Re: Filey Brigg / Flamborough Head Soaring

Hi Graham,
the Brigg is very flyable for all size of models in the right conditions. Head up to the car park and go right up to the top, through the caravan park. You can fly in that area in a wind slightly south of east, over the beach. If there is any chance that the wind is coming from the east or any point north of that, move south a few hundred yards to avoid turbulence.
In a north to north easterly the brigg itself works very well, but plan your landing before launch, as space is at a premium. Obviously this is a public site so use common sense. Walk back as far as is necessary on the car park to get away from people. Don't land too close to the trees at the top as you get quite a lot of turbulence from them.
Don't forget to pay the parking fee!
