Site Warnings!

BRIGHSTONE – Please AVOID BIRD ENCLOSURES at bottom of Brighstone Ridge.

RED CLIFFS – Please TURN LEFT when you leave the parking area on the south side of the Military Road.

CHILLERTON MAY 2019 UPDATE – After discussions with the farmer at Chillerton, our sites officer has established that for Spring 2019 we are able to fly the site at Chillerton. If there are sheep on the take-off please fly sensibly. They should move to the bottom of the hill, but please don’t panic them. As usual please don’t land in either of the big fields at the bottom.

ATHERFIELD UPDATE – March 2017 – Clearance work is going on in the grounds of the old holiday camp. Access is required to the front gate by the site workers so please DO NOT park in front of the gates or obstruct the entrance. As before the Atherfield camp site is out of bounds.

ATHERFIELD UPDATE – September 2014 – The front gate to the camp site is now blocked for site safety issues. As access is not required and parking in the area is limited, you can park at the front entrance to the camp site provided it is blocked by a mound of earth. Follow the footpath through the camping site to the west of Atherfield camp site shown by the dotted marks on the site plan. Atherfield camp site is out of bounds.

WHITE CLIFFS LOWER TAKE-OFF
This take-off is CLOSED from 1st March – 15th July to avoid disturbing nesting Peregrines. Please ONLY use the UPPER take-off during this period. If you fly to the WEST of the highest point of the cliffs (roughly where the footpath intersects the main road), then you must be able to maintain at least 100 feet clearance from the top of the cliff to avoid disturbing Peregrines on their nest.
Do NOT overfly the Golf Course.
Do NOT rig or land on the Golf Course.
Do NOT cross the Golf Course on foot.
Do NOT fly if there is any possibility of landing on the beach when it is crowded.

CULVER TAKE-OFF
This take-off is CLOSED from 1st March – 15th July to avoid disturbing Peregrines and Ravens.

BRIGHSTONE/LIMERSTONE – Do not drive on the grass under any circumstances.

Hi I'm travelling round the UK for my holidays and have decided to come to the Isle of Wight for a few days. I have my main wing and my mini wing with me and thought I'd message to see if there's any flying over the next couple of days and if so could someone let me know if they're out flying. I know its a bit last minute but didn't know I was coming here till yesterday. I don't mind giving a contribution to the local club if flying is possible. Many thanks for your help. Michael ...

Hi all.

I am coming over to the Island this weekend to see the Sea Eagles (hopefully) with my son who loves wildlife. I was lucky enough to thermal with one for 9 minutes above Petersfield and was hoping to fly with them again, but it will not be flyable :-( Where are the best places to go to see the birds? Many thanks in advance! ... See MoreSee Less
