Hay Bluff, South Wales - UK This soaring site is exclusively for members of the SE Wales Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club. Ensure you carry your Club membership card at all times and be ready to show it if requested. Region: South Wales, UK Site Record: 30.1 km Minimum Rating Hang Gliding: CP Minimum Rating Paragliding: CP Wind Direction: WNW - NNW (290° - 320°) Best Direction: NW (315°) Road Access: From Hay on Wye, use minor roads. Avoid the single-track road from Abergavenny via the Llanthony Valley. Parking: Park in the main car park at the foot of the Bluff. Hang glider pilots may also use the car park at Gospel Pass. Do not park on roads or passing places. Take-off: Gospel Pass NW Take-off (A): For hang gliders only. In stronger winds, take off from the mound (E) at the foot of the hill and climb to the main ridge. In lighter winds or for less experienced pilots, carry up to the top of the hill. The top take-off is steep but manageable. The Bluff NW Take-off (B): A long, hard carry up. Both hang gliders and paragliders should take off from the area between the top of the main path up the hill and the trig point. The Bluff NE Take-off (C): Another long, hard carry up. Launch from the grassy saucer-shaped area adjacent to the trig point. Do not launch from below the top of the hill. Always use the agreed top take-off areas at the Bluff and Gospel Pass or the lower take-off area at Gospel Pass. Landing: The top landing area is large but rough. Bottom landing is only permitted on rough ground (D) at the foot of the Bluff. Hang gliders need a careful approach as the ground slopes gently towards the road, and gorse can catch the base bar. Hang glider pilots may also land on the lower take-off (E) at Gospel Pass. Flying: A scenic site suitable for both hang gliders and paragliders. In the right conditions, it’s possible to ridge hop back to Crickhowell. Hazards: Beware of sailplanes from the nearby club at Talgarth. Watch out for rotor behind the NE cliffs and on the NW ridge in strong winds. Other Rules: This is a sensitive site. Show consideration towards other users of the common and help reduce pressure on car parks by sharing transport whenever possible. This is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), so treat it with respect. The site is closed Monday to Friday from 1st to 31st May each year for lambing. During May, the site may only be flown on Saturdays and Sundays. For more information, visit: [Fly South Wales - Hay Bluff](https://www.flysouthwales.co.uk/site-guides/hay-bluff/)
