Comentarios de pilotos
The site was only founded in 2006 but has become a favourite amongst local Cross Country enthusiasts. Site Record is 74kms Open Distance set by Craig Richards in 2006 - however Leonardo OLC distances in 2007 are higher. Ridge is low (300m AGL)time your take off well and use every bit of lift right from the start. It would be helpful to think of it as releasing from a winch tow - You can't waste any lift.
