Takeoff description
Directly behind the car parking area there is a small forestry plantation. From the eastern corner of the plantation, head due east up the shoulder of the hill. There is plenty of space to launch where the slope levels out just beneath the radio mast and the north west and south west faces can both be accessed from here.
