About This Spot

The top take-off located at the top of the cliff.(This is the main Karioitahi HG launch site.)

It is unwise to use the top take-off (site E) in a southerly (wind very cross anyway) as there is no escape if your launch is not perfect or you are in risk of being dragged side ways. Be aware of being caught behind ridges when the wind is off to either the South of the North.

Takeoff altitude: 80m
