The Map of Africa

The Map of Africa is one of the main flying sites here. It's a hill at
the back of the town of Wilderness. So called, because the river to
the back of it is sort of shaped like Africa.

The take off is not too bad, though there is the possibility of not
getting enough lift and not clearing the forest in front of you.
Assuming you do, you find yourself flying over the main dual
carriageway around 200 feet up. You can follow the road back and forth
along the ridge, and if the wind is strong enough it is forced up by
the ridge and you get lift. i.e. you can soar. With enough wind you
can fly back and forth all day.

When you've had enough you come out the lift band and head for the
beach, landing next to the car park for a lift back up to the top
again - trying not to land on the topless totty sunbathing on the beach.

Here.s the hill (we launch from just off to the right):

and the landing is just to the front of this picture here:

I've had about 10-15 flights off 'the map' so far. Problems with it are: wind needs to be pretty much SE or it is not flyable. Too light - you risk crashing in the trees, too strong you risk being pulled over the back of the ridge (like I was at the other beach site).
