ROBIN HOOD'S BAY Site Code: 11.061 Direction: N TO ESE Location: SE 959063 to SE 979024 Access: Off A171 onto B1447 at High Hawsker. Bear left when entering Robin Hood's bay and park in the side streets behind the houses on the SE facing cliff top. Walk along the public footpath to a suitable point on the SE face. Consult a map for suitable access to NE face. Height: 250 - 300 ft SE face reduces to 100ft in the centre of the bowl. Description: Huge coastal bowl producing flying from SE (sheer rock cliffs) to E and NNE (less severe). Suitability: CP + 20hrs Telephone: In Robin Hood's Bay by the car park at the top of the access road down to the beach. SITE RULES: Take-off: The SE facing cliff is now densely overgrown and is not recommended. Take offs can be made from directly in front of the car park in an ESE wind. In the NE direction take offs can be made at any suitable point along the ridge. Landings: Top: Top landing is impossible in SE winds. Comments: Not recently flown. ESE direction is fairly short so flying is limited. The NE ridge has a difficult access but is long and permits flying a greater stretch of coast to the south. |
