Take-off description
Ridge faces East, E or SE winds are good. Ridge soaring is common, cooler towards late afternoon, less thermic. Some huge Thermals mid afternoon if you like.
Getting there
Hard to find, ask a local pilot. Leave South Luzon Expressway at Southwoods or Carmona. Dirt road to the launch, but if it's been raining, the track is wet and you definitely need a 4WD.
Weather
Mainly flyable from November to about June, depends on the monsoons.
Comments
This is our primary site due to it's closeness and ease of access from Manila when the Easterlies are blowing. (Called 'Amihan' locally.)
