This landout site lies just to the east of the West Coast Rd, opposite Castle Hill. The ‘official’ paddock is paddock number 4 on the map below but especially when landing towards the south paddock number 1 might be a much better choice. Paddock 1 is also longer (550m) then paddock 4 (440m). Paddocks 2 and 3 are also an option.
Top view of L144. The non-areal photos below were all taken from where you see the yellow asterisk. The red lines are fences. The green numbered paddocks are the landable paddocksPaddock 1, long, easy road access, right across the street from Castle Hill car park, great for landing in both S and N directionTurned a little to the left: the paddock just north of paddock 1, sheep and with the fence in it not really long enoughView of entrance to paddock 1 from across the road, Torlesse Range in the backgroundThis is the paddock just north of the Castle Hill car park, people have been known to land here but it’s not the recommended paddockCastle Hill on the right, the car park on the left and the paddock just north of it that is best avoidedWhat used to be 1 paddock (the paddock between paddock 1 and 4) is now divided into 2 smaller ones with fences (for the lambs), likely not long enough to safely land in, best avoidedView to the north, the green patch roughly in the center of the photo has seen some landouts as wellPaddock 4 will be difficult to land in when landing to the south as you have the line of trees at the northern endWhich reduces the space left to landPaddock 1 on the other hand doesn’t have this problemPaddock 1 again
