Takeoff description

Grass hill with lots of space. Hang gliders take off on the lip of the hill in front of the Gibbet; Paragliders take off l00m to the West. Rig on top, but paragliders should take off at the 'break' in the slope to avoid being pulled onto the fence and damaging it. Note the areas being used for take off on the day and avoid flying in front of them.
