Overview

Mynydd Meio is a flying site in SE Wales / Black Mountains with a recorded launch elevation of 318 m. It is recorded as workable in south-westerly winds.

  • This site can be a good choice if Merthyr is blown out. It is fairly friendly away from the power lines, but the short ridge length and narrow lift band limit the capacity of this site on non-thermic days. Source: ParaglidingEarth
