WEATHER

Cliff Site. Soaring. Weather can be quickly changable. Rain bands and gust fronts can develop quickly in Spring/ Autumn. Pure ridge line on spine back so less likely to maintain seabreaze effect. Has some potential for XC from Mutton Bird (Nth) end of ridge however this will be limited by Albany Airspace.
Superb high cliff flying in region.
