Here's a map of the site - click the map to enlarge

Wolstonbury Hill is located at Pyecombe off the A273 London Road. Parking is in New Way Lane as indicated on the map above. There is a small layby at side of the road. The route to the top is indicated on the map through woods then open fields along the edge of the bowl to the top.

The hill works best in a ENE wind but we have flown there in an Easterly wind. Relatively easy place to land as you cant quite get out of the lift but you have long cross wind areas to bring your glider back to earth. BUT BEWARE there are small tussocks all over the landing area which can catch your landing glider and cause damage so care is needed on landing.



Wolstonbury has a west side too, it's well worth exploring when the wind blows that way. A 20 minute walk from the car park takes you to the SW slope. With a sunny 12mph SW wind a small aerobatic slope soarer will fly well some of the time, while a more efficient soarer can be thrown aloft and will stay there until you've had enough.
