Takeoff description

Carry up the face of the hill to take-off. A short but sharp carry up. Beware of the many deep fissures close to the edge of the hill. There is less compression than at Merthyr, so strong winds at take-off are likely to be close to the real windspeed. Don‘t underestimate actual windspeed and risk getting blown back into the lee rotor and the power lines.
