This requires that the flier fly as far east to the point as he can, then downwind to a spot landing on the beach. There is no particular difficulty. Just keep your eyes open for power lines, and people on the beach. If the wind is a little Southerly, expect a little turbulence off the point. If the wind is 12 kts or stronger, it is best to land at the far end of the beach at Kennett River, to avoid the turbulence in the lee of the point.
Mt Meuron
Until the stretch between Teddy's Lookout and the town of Kennett River was flown, Mt Meuron was regarded as Victoria's No.1 coastal site, .........if it was on! From takeoff at 450' the site rises to 600' asl over its 1km length.Takeoff
Getting to takeoff is probably the most interesting part of flying Meuron. Take the road up the back of the hill West from Wye River. Find a track that takes you under the powerlines where you can park. Strike across the bush from between the 2nd and 3rd power poles carrying your glider. It is about 100m through the scrub. Takeoff is an open area on the face.Landing
There are no particular dangers to the INTERMEDIATE pilot except the landing. In an emergency - and providing the tide is out, it is possible to land on what beach there is at the base, however most people land on the beach at the town of Kennet River.This requires that the flier fly as far east to the point as he can, then downwind to a spot landing on the beach.
