Klíčové informace
Podmínky
From parking lot walk north 400 m to Walker, Lemmings or Jungle launches. Superb ridge soaring site with beautiful views up and down the northern California coast. Follow the web link below for far more information. Hazards: This is a dynamic ridge soaring site. 1) Multiple terrain features exist which can cause rotor. 2) Many times, a large wind gradient will set up between the upper cliffs and the lower launches. This gradient is responsible for many blow-back events as seen on youtube. Blow-back results in flying directly into power lines, tight neighborhoods, and very busy streets (freeway). 3) Vegetation grows thick and wild in the park. Landing anywhere other than a designated LZ or on the upper, middle or lower road could result in a good amount of time untangling a glider.
Přístup a přistání
From 280 heading North or South: Take the Hwy 1 South Exit to Pacifica. Exit at the bottom of the hill at the Manor Drive Exit. Make a Hard Right at the end of the offramp. On your left you will pass a McDonalds and you will be on Palmetto Ave. Continue North on Palmetto about 1/2 mile up and turn left on Westline Dr. Staying to left at each opportunity. You will end up in a large parking area along the cliffs. If this gate at the far end of the parking area is open, please do not drive onto the dirt area!
