Takeoff description

To reach the launch, park at the main viewpoint parking area and follow the road back a short distance to the start of a track leading to the radio mast on the summit of Sgurr a Chaorachain (776m). Just beneath the radio mast compound is a large grassy area which is clear of rocks and offers plenty of space to lay out a wing prior to the committing launch over the cliffs that form the Coire a Chaorachain headwall.
