Descripción del despegue
Use the lower grassed area just above the vertical cliff. The grass near the top of the headland isn't really steep enough and suffers badly from compression. Southerly winds tend to be 'gusty' and there can be rotor from Warriewood h eadland. Check the ocean for signs of what's going on.
Cómo llegar
North of Mona Vale Beach. Driving south on Pittwater rd from Newport, turn left onto either Hillcrest Avenue or Grandview Parade. Limited Parking at the end of each street.
Meteo
The steep cliff lower down on this site creates a wind gradient that can mask the true wind strength. After taking off pilots find themselves climbing into the stronger wind and struggling to push forward. Over the back on this site is a sheer cliffwith serious rotor. Don't get blown over the back! If you do the onlygood news is that you'll be over water, everything else is bad. There is also sometimes severe compression out on the point. Don't fly this site when the wind is from the West of South as the landing on the beach is in the lee of the pine trees. A single strand power line runs out to the pool.
