South Cotswold Soaring Association: Rodborough

Rodborough Common:

Still a great slope for ENE - SE winds, but the East facing bowl is now unflyable . The SE slope is also full of rare species of flora and fauna.

2025 update - The East facing bowl is now unflyable, due to the trees at the bottom of the bowl getting too tall and a huge area of blackthorn at the top. You can sometimes still fly from the SE slope if it's an Easterly wind, as long as the wind isn't too strong.

Malvern is a better slope for an East wind

Parking for the SE slope is the 1st car park on the right as you come up the hill from Rodborough and the ground starts to level off. You can also park in the sunken car park on the sharp bend (400 metres farther on along the road)
