We have been informed by the local farmer that they intend to put sheep and lambs on the fell in the coming days.  There will be NO site closures, however they will be locking the farm gate leading from the car park. 

Can all pilots use the adjacent kissing gate? please do not climb the farm gate, if you have a large bag please pass it over the gate and pick it up the other side.

Thank you

Edenfield will be closed for Lambing from 1st April 2026 to 25 May 2026 inclusive.

Update on Edenfield Site Access

Last month, I reported that after discussions with the farmer grazing sheep and lambs on the landing field, we had managed to keep the site open with an extended restriction period. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

Earlier this month, following southerly winds, several members were approached by a different farmer while flying on the fell. Further discussions have since taken place with both farmers, and a new agreement has been reached.

Revised Arrangements:

• Edenfield landing field will be closed for lambing from 1st April to 25th May.

• The Edenfield site will return to the usual closure period of 25th April to 25th May.

Please respect these closure dates.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
