We have good thermal and wave conditions with a 3-mile long 1200 foot high ridge 2.8 miles east of the airfield which is flyable when the wind is anywhere between North-West and South-West which is almost always. We fly every weekend throughout the year (weather permitting) - some very good flying is done through the winter - but be sure to wrap up well! From Spring to Autumn we will be flying weekends and sometimes weekdays . We will also have some full flying weeks during the holiday season .

Solway yacht club
The Club was established in 1904 and is situated in the village of Kippford, on the Colvend Coast in Dumfries and Galloway. An area of outstanding natural beauty, its traditional towns and villages, rugged cliffs, islands and inlets with secluded beaches are a delight. The area was much favoured by smugglers, and tales of their activities abound. The Solway Yacht Club's situation on the Urr estuary provides for a variety of sailing from exciting dinghy racing in the shelter of the bay to offshore racing and cruising. It’s ideally situated for access to the Irish Sea and, from there, it’s but a short hop to the magnificent sailing area that’s the west coast of Scotland.
