Podmínky
When launching, do not step on the low wooden fence and un-load your canopy right on the edge. When conditions are light and North of East, in order to stay up, pilots adopt a pattern whereby the upwind leg of a 'circuit' is flown close to the ridge and the downwind pass is executed out to sea. Be aware of this possibility and don't force your right of way. This is a great fun site that is very popular due to the large grass park and non-metered parking right next to the site. There are often many many spectators. There is rotor behind the bush on top of the cliff near the northern end, best to stay out of the hatched section on the site map. When conditions are crowded and there are hangliders in the mix, things can be very 'busy'. Keep an eye on the wind direction. When the wind is to the South don't fly the North East facing part of the ridge. However it is possible to fly into the bowl behind Warriewood beach, (though best not to go into the lee of Warriewood headland). If the wind moves more to the North the reverse becomes true. Radio Control aircraft often operate on the northern end of the ridge. There are power lines running from the toilet block on Warriewood beach. It's an unleashed dog park.
