 General information
GPS coordinates : take off : 51°51'23" (51.8564)N; 3°22'31" (3.3755)W - Elevation : 646 m.
landing : 51°50'52" (51.8478)N; 3°22'21" (3.37257)W - Elevation : 420 m.
Take off :

Different take off depending on the wind direction (SW, E,S SE & NW)and energy to walk up the hill.
For more details please see club webpage
Landing :

Please see webpage for details. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH TOP LANDINGS AS THE STEP FACES (APART FROM NW TAKE-OFF??) CAN CREATE A ROTOR!!!
Going there :

Turn left from the A 40 North from Crickhowell and Bwlch, on the way to Brecon. Drive to Talybont village. At the T junction, turn right past 2 pubs (The White Hart is better, and has a bunkhouse, though some like the Star), and a small shop on the right (food here). If it’s a good day it’s a good idea to preplace a car here and share a lift to the top car park, as its often desperate to get back there after an XC. Turn left up and over the canal swing bridge and follow the road around for approx 8k past the reservoir (Tal y Bont) till the road turns left over a bridge and steepens dramatically. Follow it to the top, where there's a big car park on the right. Park here.
