 General information
GPS coordinates : take off : 56°25'28" (56.4247)N; 4°19'23" (4.3232)W - Elevation : 584 m.
landing : 56°25'37" (56.4271)N; 4°20'17" (4.3381)W - Elevation : 292 m.
Take off : Take off near the mobile phone mast or further down if wind is strong

Also possible to take off on the NNW face

http://www.streetmap.co.uk...
Landing : Landing is tricky as there is limited space near the car park with small trees now growing up in the clear patches.

An alternative landing is approx 1km N of the car park but this also has powerlines to contend with.

There are also several normal power lines and a high voltage power line (pylons). Work was starting to underground the high voltage line in spring 2009 which should make this site quite a bit safer.

This is not a beginner or inexperienced pilot site - recommended BHPA Pilot or above
Going there : Park at the Burger Van at the top of Glen Ogle 5km north of Lochearnhead

After stocking up on greasy food walk up the forestry track to the top (45 minutes)
Comments : In a W or NW wind it is easy to go XC to the S to Lochearnhead (and beyond)

In a W wind also possible to go along Loch Tay or Loch Earn
