Takeoff description
Takeoff is on the east side of monte Mauro, and the exposure space from NE to ESE. It's made of grass and has a perfect tilt to launch. It's open wide. South takeoff is also possible, but in this condition prefer the south Castelmauro takeoff, much easier to reach.

Pilot comments
This takeoff is underestimated, because little known. The city below and the pit made super strong thermal, which climb up to 3000 mt. Here can be done every type of fly known, and some pilots also reach the adriatic sea from here. Some pilots also report that in some occasion the valley can't made you land because of the thermal activity.
