Take-off description
Look for the opening in the tree line on top of the hill. Windsock also usually present.
Getting there
You can leave your car on the paved road and then hike for 30 minutes. Driving to the takeoff is possible with a high clearance car if it hasn't rained significantly (the mud is very sticky).
Weather
You need some decent wind (+4m/s) from the West for thermals to be usable. Surprisingly flyable even in strong winds (+8m/s).
Rules / airspace
In class G airspace, but during the week there's usually a military NOTAM on the edge.
Comments
Small hill but big potential :)
