Take-off description
From the top of 'Sugarloaf' mountain. there is also a take off area a little below the top if the wind is too stiff on top.
Getting there
The Vee is well signposted. Follow the signs until you find the 'hairpin' bend. There is a carpark just at the bend. On the road above the bend there is a stone monument. There is a track beside this monument leading to the top.
Weather
Mountain area and weather can change fast.
Comments
This site is only good for Northerly or very near Northerly wind. Beautiful flying and scenery around the whole area.
