 General information
GPS coordinates : take off : 43°38'36" (43.6436)S; 172°37'26" (172.624)E - Elevation : 336 m.
landing : 43°38'42" (43.645)S; 172°38'52" (172.648)E - Elevation : 72 m.
Take off : Summit road - 1 km south of the radar (big green ball at the summit)
Lower takeoff is best in light winds.
On the top takeoff keep the 'runway' clear for top landings.
Landing : By the living Spring road turn off. Private property, farm beside. Thank the guy. Watch the power line all around the field. plus its a bit slopy. Bit technical.
Better to do a slope landing close to the top or a top landing beside the rock pile with a wind sock on it.
Best hang gliding landing is on the north of the Teddington straights. Power lines run along the road.
Another great place to land is in the paddock beside the Wheatsheif Tavern in Teddington.
Going there : Follow the Summit road, 6 or 7 kms south of the Sign of the Kiwi
Comments : Contact local pilots.
It's a good site if Taylors Mistake has too little wind but good direction.
Closed during lambing season.
