Take-off description
Not an official take off. Enough place to extend a paraglider. Not horizontal, inclined.
Getting there
To get there, just take the way by the forest, straight to the site starting from the Xroad going to Touzac. You can let your car here. However there is no much space, so you need to let other vehicles pass through . It is also possible to come from the village of 'cavagnac' in direction of 'Duravel',and take one of the trailways in the forest to the other side. Go south , and you will see a 'palombiere', typical hunt appliance for hunting the 'palombes' in this region. Continue South. When arrived to a little clearing, surrounded by grape vines, take the way passing near an ancient barn , after a while you will be on site.
Weather
S to E oriented, if wind comes from S , it can hazardous, because of the trees nearby. Inclination of terrain to S can be tricky to manage in certain conditions, and can cause inequal inflating of glider.
