Takeoff description

Park in front of the entrance to the village and walk the last 100m. It is normally not allowed to drive to the top, but i imagine being dropped off there is not a problem. The take-off has recently (7/4/2008) been cleaned up from last year. There is a windsock and a big dirt point which would be launchable for those whom wish to walk up with their glider over head. Alternatively, take off next to the hump.
