Rhossili, South Wales

For those who don't know Rhossili is located on the Gower Peninsula which in turn is in South Wales (Just to the West of Swansea). It has a large NT car park there and a nice pub / hotel which serves superb food and a nice pint of local brew.

There is a huge expanse of sandy beach which is overlooked by an amazing two mile long (ish) 150m high ridge that predominantly faces West. This by all accounts is meant to be one of the premier slopes to fly from in the country with a relatively flat top for landing and unobstructed sea breeze providing superb lift.

 

At the end on the headland that juts out into the sea is Worms Head. The Head can be accessed at certain times of the year (due to nesting sea birds) via a shingle and rocky causeway when the tide is out.

 

What I would like to do is to organise a Slope Soaring Sussex trip up to South Wales so we can fly up at the Bwlch and hopefully down at Rhossili. Before I go and look at dates, prices etc who of you out there would be interested in joining me and making the trip to South Wales for some big air mountain soaring? Probably going down early on a Friday, and returning late on the Sunday. Hopefully meeting up with Steve, Phil and the other locals for some friendly banter. No commitment required at this stage but just an idea on who might want to come along.
