Cravens Gorse
CRAVENS GORSE: Hang-gliding site
The local and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database. The chart picture is from a half-mil Aeronautical Chart.
Location: Roughly 3.5nm NE of Cheltenham town centre
Period of operation: Unknown?
NOTES: The first mention of this site that I came across is from the AAIB Bulletin September 2024 issue, report AAIB-29890. May well have noticed it on my half-mil chart when flying into and from GLOUCESTERSHIRE airport a couple or three times many years ago, but it is not named on the chart, which is why I have added it.
As you can see I have no idea if any particular launching area is favoured, but have noticed that quite often a number of launching sites can be favoured, presumably depending on the wind direction. A delve on the inter-web failed to reveal any details, so if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
