Takeoff description
Grass take-off. Small ridge meaning low ground proximity after launch and narrow range of suitable wind speeds.
Pilot comments
A site that needs considerable caution. Looks benign but can be rough immediately after take-off. Good XC potential for experienced pilots. Unsuitable for ridge soaring.
