Takeoff description
Good, but beware large boulders. Local Flying Tor is not very steep, so dynamic lift is limited. XC Flying Excellent potential. But read the Safety Warnings if crossing Dartmoor. The west face is best for XC, allowing the road across the moor to be followed to Two Bridges, Dartmeet, Ashburton and beyond. XC from the north face quickly meets the sea. The northwest corner is rocky and difficult. The south face is quite shallow, making soaring difficult, but good for training.
