Descripción del despegue

Small takeoff that really only has room for one wing at a time. Caution trees on both sides of takeoff and a metal fence at the bottom of the takeoff. But overall quite easy.

Rough road to Jame's Taylor's Seat. Possible in 2WD but drive carefully. Foreigners need to pay a fee at the bottom of the road (approx 5km before takeoff) to access the Jame's Taylor's estate.

Suny days are very good to fly. From November to April is best period to fly. Mid December to mid January it's raining, and need to see a good weather conditions

Probably quite a lot of XC potential here. Site situated on a N-S ridge that should have good thermic potential. Not sure what local regulations are for XC flights though.
