About This Spot
Takeoff
Access to takeoff is along the old road below the lookout. Assistance on launch is recommended and a positive takeoff is required. The site looks small, but provided you stay within the lift band it is possible to get high over the lookout. Paragliders may choose to take off on a shelf below the path if the wind is on the strong side.
The Point Lonsdale Run is approximately 10km one way and you will rarely get over 100'. Only one very long gap, about 1km east of Collendina, three or four smaller gaps on the way. Excellent view of 'The Rip' at the Point Lonsdale end. Pilots flying this trip should be intermediate minimum, able to self launch and should fly in pairs since there are not many people on this area of beach.
Takeoff altitude: 15m
