Startplatz-Beschreibung
Cliff launch, fairly rough due to the turbulence at launch. Not suitable for beginners. Awful take off site, especially in the summer with all the plants and trees that can snag on your glider! The cliff doesn't have a slope at all, its basically a small patch of flat(barely big enough to lay your glider down), and then a straight drop! No room to run! it would only work at perfect wind and absolutely no gust or cross wind! Behind this place there a park where if you are a paramotor pilot would work great.
Anfahrt
Put '1-31 Lyme Regis Crescent, M1M 1C9' into GPS.

Launch is in a bowl and can create turbulence at launch.

Regeln / Luftraum
2500ft ceiling which ends up in Pearson Airspace (major no-no), but 2000ft directly over launch has a VFR route that's heavily used by light aircraft (often times by student pilots).
