| Site News | ||
| ALL WESSEX SITES | Recent events have highlighted that members are not always aware of the rules and information relating to a site - PLEASE take the time to re-read the site guide BEFORE you next fly. | |
| Bournemouth/Southbourne | Restricted Flying Hours during July and August. NO Flying between 10:00 and 18:00. Pilots need to do a dynamic risk assessment and if the clifftop and beach is getting busy, or still busy, then flights must be suspended until crowd levels have reduced. Please read the site guide for this very sensitive site BEFORE you next fly. |
|
| Ballard Down / Whitecliff | We have received a complaint from the farmer of Whitecliff Farm, Swanage that Pilots landing in his lower fields (the 8th July) have been climbing over the lower fences to join the Coast Path causing damage to the fences. If you have to land in any of his fields then you MUST exit the fields through Whitecliff Farm ONLY and join the public footpath south back through the Ballard Estate. PLEASE take the time to re-read the site guide BEFORE you next fly. |
