| For Flyers we have the Rhyl & District Model Flying Club who usually fly from a Farm Field along the Rhuddlan road from Abergele...it is opposite the Only Cattery along that road which is well signposted and it is usually easy to spot the flyers from the road.
As for Soarers/Glider guiders best site here has to be the top of the Orme at Llandudno, You have to go around the toll road to get to it but you are usually guaranteed a flight when you get there depending on the weight of your model...usually the heavier the better although this does vary on the odd occasion depending on windspeed....Lighter models may need a bit of ballast.... And you will be keeping the memory of one of our former regular flyers alive as his ashes are scattered over that slope (scattered from one of his own models) as per earlier post on here. Flying takes place most weekends and evenings as weather permits.
West Shore Beach at Llandudno at far left end is also an ideal flying spot for powered models when the tide is out...Flat sands etc for runways, There are sometimes soft sand spots although these harden up after a while at full low tide....and it does go out quite a way here. This area is also now popular with the extreme sports brigade (parafoil sand karts etc) so you may need to check before flying.
