Aerology
:
Situated in N-O of the island, one flies under
the wind when the meteorological stream comes from East.
When the stream comes from South-SouthEast, (period of Trade winds, from June
till September) there are often beautiful confluences on the left. One will
flies then in the North return,
the most adapted situation for this site, especially because cliffs
orientation...
When the stream is E-NE, the confluence zone
is very visible on the right, you will fly in a South return.
Otherwise you will be in pure breeze regime.
Flight
plan : Best is to set slightly North just
after takeoff, you will cross over hillside scool towards a gully which leads
you up to the cliff.
Unless "the big firecracker", please, do not try to roll up before
reaching the cliff because you will never be very high.
Numerous crossing
possibilities. Northward,
regrettably you can not exceed the ledge without entering Gillot's airport area,
on the other hand the South is opened to you....
Attero: That situated below the cliff is very visible, it is that of the Tour des Roches (GPS:WGS84: S:-21.00325 E:55.29827). Indeed, you are on a cross site, the other landings grounds of the sector are possibly opened to you. Distrust however, all the very attractive green spaces, situated between the cliff and 4 ways, are really in a very swampy zone...
