So lambs are afraid of paragliders but not multi-million pound fighter planes...

Lambs are not afraid of HG's Pg's or Jets they are afraid or humans..

Farmers have on average 800 sheep or more lambing ! we can cause a nightmare if we scatter new borns from their mothers when walking onto the flying site.. Its all about access & where you decide to land.

I could negotiate some sites where farmers will let us fly in lambing time but there will be no bottom landing field everyone will have to top land or land on the hill side and this can not be gauranteed that every member will be able to do this so its not worth the risk.

The MOD do pay out on claims in and around the otterburn range for damage to livestock
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country
