Take-off description
Alti: 1550m you can see it from the valley, on the top of a little hill with a pretty little village: 'Les Richards'. Grass, large take off. From the landing area take the road to the mountain, cross the little village (pass a farm) and park your car near the take off. Don't forgot to close the enclosure in your back.
Getting there
From Gap cross the Bayard pass and turn to the right, Ocière-Merlette direction. Cross the 'Pont du Fossé' village and turn to the left after 200m. Follow the sign 'décollage' or 'Les Richards'.
Weather
With strong valley wind landing could be difficult.
Comments
Sorry, I never used the landing. I use this site only for XC. It seems that I have the site record: landing at 'Chamonix', official landing (Bois du Bouchet). 187km with 2 points: Chamrousse and Megève. take off at 11h30, landing at 18h30. South wind conditions. (Nico)
