Here is a map of the site - click the map to enlarge

This site is situated off the A27 heading East from Brighton.

Proceed to the Wilmington crossroads then turn right into The Street, Wilmington.

Follow The Street until it becomes Chapel Hill which is where the S. Downs way crosses the road. Parking is on the right - it is a small carpark. Proceed back across the road and follow the S. Downs way East to the top of the SW bowl.

This is very large bowl with smooth lift. The landing area is across the front of the flight line as there is no space behind.

This site is on the S. Downs way and is therefore populated by walkers, cyclists, families, etc.. so due consideration needs to be taken when flying and landing.
