This is a guide to how to find Meio and where to fly once you're there.
If you require any further info then please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
One thing that I did forget to mention in the video, is that the main slope faces south westerly. The northern end of this slope then swings around to the right to face NNW to NW. Follow the path to the back of the hill which then faces NNE to NE.

That brings back memories as I learnt to slope soar on Mynydd Meio in the 1970s. It looks more scruffy and unkempt down by the road now.

The local farmer puts his cattle on the ground by the road in winter and they turn it into a boggy mess. Such a shame.

Thanks for sharing, it is good of you. I`ve come across fellow flyers who are quite reluctant to share location of flying sites for fear of over crowding, nice to see that you are not amongst them.

There’s no fear of overcrowding up there. If we get 5 or 6 fliers there at any one time, then that’s a busy day for us. More often than not it’s just my flying buddy Josh & myself.

Interesting video. Amazing how short a drive it is from the busy roads

Of course I did edit a lot of the drive out, or everyone would have clicked away from my video before I’d even reached the M4/A470 junction. From my home to the slope is about 40 minutes ish, and the motorway is only 5 minutes from my home. Distance wise it isn’t far but I do drive quite slowly down those country lanes as I often come across walkers, horses etc.

Brilliant video. I had no idea on how to get to the Meio and that it was so close to me. Please do one for the Bwlch. I hear many flyers saying they are going slope soaring at the Bwlch. I have no idea how to get there.

@A470RCSoaring Месяц назад

Yes, that is something I must do 👍

Great guide to the Meio! Now what about a couple or three guides to the Bwlch slopes? Show them what big lift is like 😁

@A470RCSoaring 11 месяцев назад

If we get some flyable weather on a weekend then I could do that. But I do have plenty of videos in my playlist that show a lot of flying the Bwlch. But certainly something to think about for the autumn.

@johnf3f810 11 месяцев назад

Yes you have a number of videos from the Bwlch. What I liked about this vlog was the complete guide to getting to and flying the slope, very useful for those who haven't flown them! Hope to catch up with you again soon.

Excellent thanks for a great guide. Just what's needed. Would love to see similar for other sites. Not sure if you said the wind direction for the slope you were actually flying on but I believe its south west?

That was great. 👍👍👍

What's the timestamp for the raptor encounter? I recommend adding it to your chapters since it's in your title. I love glider combat more than anything but sadly our group was broken up by the Great Polarization and just people aging out.
