Flug
Starting is possible here in a strong wind. You fly in the direction of Shelley Beach. At the start place, you will find a steep falling away cliff with no possibilities at all to land below. In addition you should try it to get away from the cliff, in order to be able to land at the beach or behind the rocky slope.
Take caution in an easy wind: for here one can easily be pressed at the cliff. In strong wind, it can happen that you must make use of the street.
Please fly here only if you can land very well. It can be hard if the wind is strong to come down and land. As a last resort you can land behind the street by the arising wind but be careful of the water.
Schwierigkeit
This site has a 'middle' degree of dificulty.
