Takeoff description

From the parking area, go through the gate and pick the easiest line in a south easterly direction across rough and boggy ground to reach the hill. Either follow a direct line up through the bands of small crags and terraces, or take a slightly less strenuous route up somewhat gentler slopes just to the south, before cutting back across to the a take off area near the high point of the hill. When soarable it is often possible to take off from slightly lower down the hillside.
