Take-off description
South-East of the Madmans Seat is the knob of a hill to take off from. It is small and a bit rocky. You will have to walk up (circa 20 mins) from the Madman's Seat. HG's could possibly get away from the road as it goes down the south side into the Black Valley.
Getting there
Drive south through the Gap of Dunloe to the Head (top) of the Gap. Park here, off the road, please.
Weather
Stronger winds blow through the Gap and this area should be avoided for flying.
Rules / airspace
