Takeoff description
The NW takeoff is very large and located at the very top of the hill. No serious hazards apart from the masts behind. Ridge to the right of takeoff is apparently a good thermal trigger. The Southerly takeoff is has been manicured for paragliding but does require very committed launch. People tended to head straight to the huge rock face to the right of takeoff. Never flown easterly, very intimidating launch. Only enough room for one glider and maybe four or five steps.
Pilot comments
Must be low winds to fly here.
