Takeoff description
Launch in front of the windsock or anywhere south along the ridge. Be sure you are far enough down the hill that you will not get dragged into parked cars or the fence if you fluff the launch. On busy days ensure the air is clear above you before pulling up your wing. Please ensure hang-gliders have plenty of room to launch when present. It is possible to launch directly into the bowl on light days or when the wind is more northerly. It is advisable not to use this launch on busy days to avoid the risk of collision.
