Take off :	Climb up the hill through the bush (20 minutes max), you'll find it.
Landing :	next to your car, beside the eucalyptus. Anyway plenty of sugar cane fields in case of emergency.
Going there :	From the motorway (Grand Baie - Port Louis), take Montagne Longue, turn right at 'La croisee Montagne Longue', before the actual village of Montagne longue, turn right on 'Ducray Street', and last right in a sugar cane dirt track. Park your car when there are no more habitations, next to a couple of eucalyptus.
Comments :	Classic 'XC': go to the top of Pieter Both and back. From Pieter Both, can keep going down the Moka Range (Pouce, Ory), with luck, get good altitude there and then to Corps de Garde, same to Montagne du Rempart ... by NE or breeze regime.
Weather hazards :	na.
Flight regulation :	Airplanes can fly anywhere in Mauritius, but the actual ceiling is 4000 ft. Planes usually don't fly between Montagne Longue and the Pieter Both.
People to contact :	not many...
