Takeoff description

Launch is either known as Walt's Point or Horseshoe. This is more a HG site than a place for PG - as the launch requires a special technique: lay out your glider across the TO with the right wing tip right at the edge of launch; the bring up the right side first... After TO turn right towards the small saddle (but don NOT fly across) - normally the thermals are right there.
