Takeoff description

2000m When you are under the power lines along the road after the cheese farm- go to your right on a 4x4 track and make a judgement on where to launch from off the steeper slope 1900m (GPS co-ords) Normally use this launch on the far SW part of the mountain away from the power lines and easier to access. Go just past the refuge and look for the little wind streamer on the steeper gradient next to some small shrubs, park your car on the corner.
