Sutton Bank 
Yorkshire Gliding Club 1

The horse shoe sweep from Sutton Bank to Roulston Scar with its sheer slopes is perfect for creating the 'thermals' which enable gliders to gain height and stay airborne for long periods. The flat expanse on top makes an ideal airfield for take off and landing. It is the home of the Yorkshire Gliding Club. Walkers are asked to keep to the footpath and not stray onto the field, as gliders can approach silently for landing, with little warning.
