Training Hill in Thurmont ??

Post by Richard Hays »

Has anyone ever tried flying off of the little NW facing hill in Woodsboro,
in a park called Lehigh Park ? I went out there today and it looks
"possible" but pretty shallow. Gotta have wind or at least a strong long
AND wind. Good little place to groundhandle at very least. Very gentle
slope increasing slightly at the very top.

It's in a park that should be open year 'round. Like I said...its' shallow
but I think do'able. Does anyone know about this site, or is this a newbie
?

Can be found off of Rt. 550 heading east. Check it out. Rumor has it that
powered paragliders' are launching out of there. I'm going to try it once
the Falcon 225 arrives. :)
