Moneylaws Overview:

A good ridge with a steep grass covered face overlooking the Tweed Valley to Coldstream. Works best in a n.n.westerly. The site can produce excellent XC conditions with plenty of flat farmland in front and the Cheviots behind.

Contact must be made with Liz Annett before flying.

Head west from Kilham and take the first turning on the right. (200m) follow the road over the bridge to a T junction on the bend and turn left. Follow the road (1mile) looking out for the right turn to Downham Farm (up hill) Go through the farm (slow) as you pass the cottages turn right then up the track to a gate, park here if the pastures are either wet or in hay (if dry) drive up around the back of the hill and park near the stone wall at the top.

If top landing, do so in front of or well behind the wall (rotor). There have been very valuable goats on the hill in the past, take care. There are power lines over the back if going XC !

Bottom landing, nice big field but beware not to fly to far back on approach because of the steep up hill slope !

If the wind is off to the north and light, leave for the landing field when you are just below take off (its a long glide with a 180 degree turn back into wind (HG)
