Take-off description
There are a couple of launch points on this hill though one (the nicer launch) has fallen into disrepair and the track to it is overgrown and would require 4x4 for access. The other is at UN control point 111 and so this is how we refer to it.
Getting there
Take the 'Avdellaro' exit off the A3 North of Larnaca. Head for Avdellaro, there is a small cafe about 3 miles South of the hill and makes a good meeting point. Carry on past the cafe and ignore any further signs for Avdellaro. Eventually you will see the hill spread out in front of you, if you have 2 cars it is prudent to leave one in the compound to the left of the road at the bottom. Continue past the hill and admire it as you do so, go under the bridge and take the next track on the right. follow this track around to the left and then turn right and continue to the end loop. There are a few pot holes on this track and it's quite steep for the final 50m but if my Galaxy can do it then most other cars will cope too!
Rules / airspace
Fly to the South of the hill! the UN buffer zone is all along the ridge to the North so it's probably a good idea not to go over there!
