Takeoff description

Flying the site: When the wind is straight on, soaring flights are possible in light winds. Soaring flights between the eastern railway tunnel and the western end of the ridge before Folkestone are easy. Do not venture any further east of the tunnel unless you are sure you can get back, especially at high tide. There is no bottom landing beyond the point, though in an emergency you could land at Samphire Hoe (the reclaimed land adjacent to the tunnel works).
