About
The site itself is lovely, with a café/restaurant located a couple of minutes walk from take-off. The take-off is spacious, grassy and rounded, making for easy rigging and a pleasant run off. Once off the edge of the mountain, you have a few thousand feet to play with before needing to think about landing. Out towards the valley there were a couple of spurs that seemed to consistently kick off good thermals and the ‘house thermal’ was being generated just to the right of take-off, these meant that there was no fear of flying straight to the bottom landing. Landing back on top was also an option with a nice breeze meaning landing was easy. Bottom landing was a tad more difficult with the light/no wind conditions leading to lots of overshooting, thankfully the overshoot area was land-able!
