the way down.
You start from the top of the hill with a sort of open river valley
below you, and in front of that, the Indian Ocean:
I posted a picture of it a few days ago too. I've only flown there once so far (2 flights), both pretty much top to bottoms (i.e. no lift - so no soaring). At the bottom is a nice big field to land in and the take off is pretty easy. Only issue is that it is pretty much a cliff face once you are in the air , full of massive pine trees - so on the one hand you want to stay close to the ridge (and hence close to the trees) to maximise lift. One other other hand, you don't want to land in a tree. It's very different from Paramotoring, where I am always >500 feet away from the ground unless taking off or landing - paragliding I'm having to get used to my arse being 5 foot above the top of a pine tree... a few times you get a bit of sink and think...'arg prepare for tree landing' which is a bit of a buttock clencher.
