    That brings back memories as I learnt to slope soar on Mynydd Meio in the 1970s. It looks more scruffy and unkempt down by the road now.

      The local farmer puts his cattle on the ground by the road in winter and they turn it into a boggy mess. Such a shame.

    Thanks for sharing, it is good of you. I`ve come across fellow flyers who are quite reluctant to share location of flying sites for fear of over crowding, nice to see that you are not amongst them.

      There’s no fear of overcrowding up there. If we get 5 or 6 fliers there at any one time, then that’s a busy day for us.
      More often than not it’s just my flying buddy Josh & myself.

    Interesting video.
    Amazing how short a drive it is from the busy roads

      Of course I did edit a lot of the drive out, or everyone would have clicked away from my video before I’d even reached the M4/A470 junction. From my home to the slope is about 40 minutes ish, and the motorway is only 5 minutes from my home.
      Distance wise it isn’t far but I do drive quite slowly down those country lanes as I often come across walkers, horses etc.

    Brilliant video. I had no idea on how to get to the Meio and that it was so close to me. Please do one for the Bwlch. I hear many flyers saying they are going slope soaring at the Bwlch. I have no idea how to get there.

      Yes, that is something I must do 👍

    Great guide to the Meio! Now what about a couple or three guides to the Bwlch slopes? Show them what big lift is like 😁

      If we get some flyable weather on a weekend then I could do that. But I do have plenty of videos in my playlist that show a lot of flying the Bwlch. But certainly something to think about for the autumn.

      Yes you have a number of videos from the Bwlch. What I liked about this vlog was the complete guide to getting to and flying the slope, very useful for those who haven't flown them! Hope to catch up with you again soon.

      Excellent thanks for a great guide. Just what's needed. Would love to see similar for other sites. Not sure if you said the wind direction for the slope you were actually flying on but I believe its south west?

    Had a hawk attack my zagi once he left claw marks in the foam

    What's the timestamp for the raptor encounter? I recommend adding it to your chapters since it's in your title.
    I love glider combat more than anything but sadly our group was broken up by the Great Polarization and just people aging out.
