Pilot comments
The site has got just 200m elevation gain over the landing, Hence there is not a lot of time to find a therma, and one mistake will take you to the bombout at the landing. The good news are - you can up in just 5 minutes, or walk back up in just 25 minutes. There is drinking water available on the takeoff site.
