Takeoff description
(N41.5347, E13.8297) A big large and smooth field, suitable also for beginners. The takeoff field is reachable by a 3min walk through the forest from the parking place on the Terelle road (N41.547685, E13.810087). As far as known, there is no permanent shuttle bus at the site, but as it is often used by schools, tandem pilots etc., finding a ride up should not be major issue. Unconfirmed information says there also regular buses going passing Caira and going up to Terelle, which would be perfect for going up.
