Takeoff description
The takeoff is about 100 metres elevation over the shore. It's out on a point that is best accessed by walking the last 5 minutes, although people do drive right to the takeoff (there is a very narrow spine - just over the width of a vehicle - on the way out to the point, where slides have occurred on both of the sides). There is room for one glider at a time to set up. (Although there is plenty of room behind.)
