This is my site guide for Mam Tor, which is a hill used for hanggliding and paragliding in the Hope Valley, Derbyshire. Here I detail where to take off and land, safety points and general advice. Mam Tor takes NE to SE winds.
Hey Darren Great Video as always Love the wills wing jacket Do you have a link for me to get one of these? Thank you in advance from the German apprentice 😉
Some of the land where we take-off and land is owned by farmers who keep sheep there. Lambing season is when pregnant sheep begin to have their babies - lambs. We are asked not to go onto the land where the sheep are at this time so we do not disturb them
This may be a stupid question, but why doesn't anyone land on top of Mam Tor instead of flying to the field at the bottom landing field? Would put you closer to your car.
We generally do land at the top - on windy knoll. That's the closest landing to the car. But if you go down because of the conditions, then you land in the bottom landing field.
