EASINGTON Site Code: 12.052 Direction: Easterly Location: NZ 444441 Access: Drive on the B1283 to Easington Colliery. Turn off at the corner to head east down Office St. Go straight on down a dip under a very low bridge. Park behind the fence near the Sea Angler's clubhouse. Carry approx 200m under another bridge to the edge along the footpath. Height: 80 ft. Length: 200 m between gaps, but possible to fly 5 miles from NZ 443460 to NZ 497360. Description: Industrial coastline with a grass bank take-off. Suitability: Subject to conditions, all levels of flier. Telephone: SITE RULES: Take-off: Where suitable. Landings: Top: Landing close to the edge can be turbulent due to ROTOR. Landing well behind take-off is best but the field is often in crop, so land to the right of the path from the car park to take-off. Comments: Flying at nearby Blackhall may be better if the wind is crossed from the north. |
