As you drive up Stoner Hill (away from Petersfield town) turn right at the top into Cockshott lane. This starts off nicely wide and safe, but quickly disintegrates to a VERY bumpy track about half way along the ridge. Try and park in any of several laybys up there before it turns into Old Litten Lane (past the big houses).

Once parked, there is a 1-2 km walk uphill needed and eventually you will come to the end of the road with a barred gate preventing vehicles from going any further.
Walk downhill on the bridleway about 300 yards beyond that and you will see a narrow set of steps on the left up to the flying field, which is very secluded, but you may see a couple of hikers passing through.

It is quite a challenging fly-site, best for experienced pilots, mainly due to difficulty of recovery if we crash, and several risk factors as follows:

Nature-wise we do have to be careful here. Various large raptors hunt over this land - I have seen buzzards, Red Kite, Kestrels, Sparrowhawks, and if your craft goes down pretty much anywhere here recovery is going to be very difficult or in a tree canopy you can't easily later get to.

We do get some aerial traffic here too. RAF occasionally fly chinooks, jets and other aircraft in close proximity to the hill, but we if we stand in the right place in the launch field we have excellent visibility in most directions, and a good deal of time to hear things coming first.

Wind up here can be hazardous and up-drafty, and quite unrelated to what is forecast for the town beneath it, so best saved for calm days !
