Opinons invited particularly from persons who have flown Hownam Law, about the suitability of the two North-South fields running between the river and the Hownam road for a bottom landing mainly for hang gliders. OS grid NT 781 216.
I know John Watson has landed here on the paraglider with the biggest problem not being the distance but with the occupant of the field. A very large limousin bull.
These fields are not owned by Will Thomson of Hownam Grange, but by 2 farmers each owning 1 field. Permission could be sought if they were thought suitable.

Bottom landing at Hownam
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

Nice One Bob
Both fields looks good to me Bob, the 30ft high power line running along the north side of both fields are worth a mention, nice one.
