Site Map Legend

All maps are based upon the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps. Check the scale on the map as a couple of the maps are a smaller scale than the rest - Brigsteer being an example.

A full list of 1:25,000 map symbols can be found here. The main Ordnance Survey site is here

A number of symbols have been added to the maps.

Pilots should use their judgement on the day to decide the best take off point in relation to the conditions. In the site data section, a Google Earth take off is a point where at least one pilot has taken off as validated by a tracklog point.
