Ross' Ridge

Launch is large enough to set up only one wing at a time. It has an excellent slope. Do not walk through farmer’s crop. Go around field perimeter to launch. Launch is short –maintained natural grass with some roughness to ground.

Need to have strong launching and Top-landing skills at >25 kph winds at launch. Even a slight cross-wind at launch can dramatically affect lift. And always double check for sticks in your lines. Rapidly changing conditions are possible/not uncommon – ATTENTION is required!

Large Farm Field. Has high crops at some times of the year. Do not land here.
Do not land behind trees. Trees at the edge of the cliff can create significant mechanical turbulence and rotor. At the end of day, as the seabreeze diminishes, conditions can change rapidly. Turbulences become less of a factor in top landing but you may only get one chance making a beach landing mandatory.
Sandstone cliffs may not be stable. Care must be taken near edge of cliff – falling hazard.

All day. West facing sites are best from noon to sunset. During most of the year it is advised to fly when the tide permits beach landing as an alternate LZ. For tide and coastal wind information consult: http://www.windfinder.com/weatherforecast/point_prim Point Prim, Canada
