    Rybury Hill is a frequently used site for paragliding, particularly favored for cross-country (XC) flights in a southwesterly to westerly wind. The site offers multiple takeoff options, but soaring is very limited. Due to overuse, it is restricted to members only. Rybury is known for its small but steep escarpment, making it a launch pad for cross-country pilots. It can be used for ridge soaring with good vertical separation, but it becomes challenging in light winds. Pilots should be cautious of flying too close or launching from the southerly face of the escarpment if the wind has any northerly component. The site is located in the UK, with a site record of 128.6 km. It is opposite Tan and Milk Hill and is more technical due to its smaller ridge and steeper slope. The ridge can get crowded quickly, making Milk Hill a better option for soaring. Rybury is more popular on XC days due to cleaner airflow and thermal sources. There is no bottom landing field at Rybury, making it suitable only for more experienced pilots (CP+25 hours). In emergencies, pilots can land in the field and use the bridleway to exit to the gate. You must not fly alone at this site. Check the sign on the gate before flying, as the farmer may have young livestock grazing. The site sometimes closes for lambing each April and May, reopening on June 1st. The site is limited to Full TVHGC members only. Reciprocal and Guest members are not allowed. The site is managed under an access agreement, allowing flying on only 20 days per year, excluding bank holiday weekends. Pilots must log their flights in the ‘Flying Diary’. Suitable for pilots with a CP Hill rating + 25 hours experience and completed slope landing tasks. Other options for less experienced pilots include Milk Hill and Sugar Hill. Watch out for strong thermals on sunny spring days. The club has experienced problems with overuse. The farmer is concerned about pilots flying unaccompanied. There is a £50 penalty payable to Oxfam via the farmer if you do. All vehicles must pay £1.50 at the toll box to use the track, even if you do not fly. Location: OS Grid Ref SU 084 637 Landranger 173, Pathfinder 1185. Parking is approximately 1 mile along the track, about 200 yards before the lower barns. Access is by walking westwards from the track through the gate and alongside the fence towards the hilltop. Takeoff is at an approximate elevation of 230m/755’ AMSL, anywhere at the top of the hill. Landing options include slope landing or top landing, but there is no longer a bottom landing field. Landing in the col at the top of the bowl may result in being blown back into dangerous rotor. It is generally safest to land on the shallow spur below Rybury hill fort. Avoid flying low and behind the ridge due to rotor in a westerly wind. Be cautious in a wind direction north of west, as the spur to the north is in the lee and landing there would be dangerous. For XC flights, study your air-map carefully. The best thermals break off from the top of Rybury enclosure. For more information, visit the [TVHGC Rybury Hill page](http://www.tvhgc.co.uk/index.php/tvhgcsites/rybury-hill).
