Needs a biggish field Arthur. No need for a ridge though. The rolling hills and big wheat fields south of the Coombe Gibbet ridge generate loads of thermals as the xc hounds know and getting lobbed into them at 1000ft agl off a winch puts you in a good place to start from. Middle Wallop is a huge grass airfield and is ideal (weekends only when the military are not at work). If there is interest you need to get together and form a core group. To run as a BHPA club you need a Senior Coach (Tow) . This licence allows you to train winch operators and tow coaches. If that person is also a Senior Instructor (Tow) then the club can perform tow conversions of hill pilots too. The Senior coach does not have to be present at every operation merely oversee and be responsible for its safe conduct according to BHPA regs. The other thing you need is a CAA cable licence for the field. Not difficult to arrange but means that the field is designated and marked on the airmap so all that takes time to put in place.
I do not intend to organise this but will happily respond with my winch and my licenses if an organising group forms to take this forward.
The reason I mention it now is that I have heard that Middle Wallop parascending group is no longer operating there so there may be an opportunity to ask for the use of that field at weekends.
I suppose the ridge at Coombe could be used for Easteries and Westerlies but it would need a different landowner agreement than we currently have and the direction is pretty limited. A huge open field giving all directions is by far the best.

I would be interested in Tow within TVHCG francis, better than nothing. What sites can towed from, not much experience with catching thermals from tow,, is this best done from a ridge for extra height even in null wind?--On 8 June 2016 at 20:57, Hugh Burnaby-Atkins <hburnaby@gmail.com> wrote:Sorry to reply to the group - but Rob. K please PM me with your email at hburnaby@gmail.com if you would like to be connected you with the thread that's going for Rutland Tow.While I'm on the group net - there is scope to tow HGs in case there are any out there who'd be interested - and Andy Shaw will have his there for the first session on June 15th.Hugh--On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 8:26 PM, 'Robert Keeler' via TVHGC members list <tvhgc_members@googlegroups.com> wrote:I would be interested, it would save a long drive in easterlies.Rob K.
Sent from my iPhoneIs there any appetite for a tow section within TVHCG? I understand there is no longer any parascending at Middle Wallop and that site may be available as a site?--On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 9:35 AM, James Hope-Lang <jammyhl@me.com> wrote:Good luck with the club. Just sounds like the northern branch of TVHGC!--I hope this isn't a heinous sin using this club's forum to announce another club, but on the basis that some members may be interested or know of others who could be interested, I hope I may be forgiven for asking that word be spread about the formation of a new Tow and PPG club at North Luffenham in Rutland.Hopefully it's far enough away that it doesn't compete and more places to fly, particularly in a part of the country that's got no sites, is good news. See for yourself at:Or PM me and I'll send more detailsAnd please spread the wordHugh
