The gliding club was from, King's College Newcastle 1937. {Not to sure about the Height?
It is reported that at times the wind can be so strong, that in the fields that are on the west side of the Pennines can have the turnips rolled out of the ground down the side of the mountain down to the bottom wall. And yet only one mile away to the west the wind is quite--gentle? "Now--not many people know that"
