Take-off description
Flat take-off facing east. Ok for preparing multiple winds but take-off one at the time. The altitude difference with respect to the landing is small - just 100 meters. With a sea breeze present gaining the altitude is not a problem, but when it is week, there is very little time to find a thermal, otherwise - a bomb-out. The good news - it is very easy and quickly to get back to the take-off and try again,
Getting there
Easily accessible by car. Drive to San Marino, find a parking spot on the street and walk few minutes to the takeoff. If you land below, there is a footpath taking you back practically to the takeoff. It takes approximately 10-15 minute walk.
Weather
Good flying is with the sea breeze.
