Take-off description
Anywhere on top......but remember Killarney NP law forbids launching within the park boundaries.
Getting there
Follow as far as possible towards Tomies Wood. THEN a 2hr hike through wood (take the high track through the wood) and up steep face of mtn....It is very tough hike...and there is no easy way up.
Weather
Look at lake surface for wind direction & strength.
Rules / airspace
Kerry Airport ATZ goes down to the surface and is 100m North of the mtn so do not fly out over the big lake (Lough Leane). Due to its location within Killarney National Park ' flying from' (launching) here is NOT PERMITTED by law. However flying over the park isn't.
