About This Spot
wind is stronger than it really is.
Launch here is pretty straight forward. Allow enough distance between you and
the top fence in case of difficulties during a launch.
Parking There is a stile in the fence line at the site entrance. Do not block access to
others by parking in front of the stile. Park as tight as possible to the fence on
the grass verge. The road is narrow so take care not to obstruct the road way.
Access Simply hop over the stile, set up and launch.
Takeoff altitude: 258m
