Our flying site is located a little north of the village of Wighill which in turn lies 3.0 miles north of Tadcaster.
Access is gained via a private gated tarmac road from the centre of Wighill.
The site enjoys a beautiful rural setting and comprises of a closely mown 60m diameter circle with guarded pit area. The circular nature of the patch ensures that we can always take-off into wind irrespective of its direction.
For those who have problems kneeling and/or bending, we have two raised timber constructed safety benches, which also double as a working platform for carrying out minor adjustments and running repairs.
Flying can take place all year round, with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Our flying times are :-
10.00am to 9pm Monday - Saturday.
11.00am to 9pm Sunday
(No flying when its dark)
