As mentioned before, slope soaring sites are few and far between in East Anglia, but there are one or two places where you can soar when the wind is just right. Today the wind was forecast to be Northerly so I drove 2 1/4 hrs up to North Norfolk to try Weybourne Cliffs just west from Sherringham. At a guess, the cliff goes up to about 100ft or maybe a bit more, and there is a lovely grassy area at the top for landing. The wind was around 15 kts and as expected with cliffs, the lift was in quite a narrow band and probably went up to about 100ft - 150ft....... Not great but perfectly flyable with the Soarcerer!

There is a car park in which sadly , you have to pay £1.80/hr and a good pub in the village which did a great lunch of mussels and chips!😉
