The periods of silence followed by the rude blast of gas jets remind me that certain airbourne activities are not welcome over Blacka. The designation of the site as a "Nature Reserve"* caused inconvenience to a group of senior citizens who had been coming up to Blacka regularly for many years where they flew totally silent radio controlled gliders once or twice a year. They were told their previous activities were not acceptable as the ground nesting birds might become nervous and see the models as a threat!
* As it happens the site is actually one where recreation has precedence over conservation and there is no official "Nature Reserve" designation despite notices saying so at each entrance.
