You would feel wind speed a bit stronger because
it pops up from conical terrain right down below the launch. When wind sock points
5m of wind speed, it would be better to subtract 2m from that to determine actual
wind speed for taking off. |

There is thermal almost always and better condition

at altitude of 2,000m during good condition. You would need technique of Big Ears
when you are making landing because thermal will generate way above the LD also. |
