but (unless you are very dumb you will not reach it.)

Description: The closest sites to the railway station and can be flown on every single day. Good for North and North west wind direction. Laminar sea breeze make it ideal for new students. Climbing the hill is a bit tricky as it is a bit steep. There is an option of using gentle slope for climbing but not very convenient if you have to climb the hill for a second time as its approach is further from landing area. Though a small hill one can soar on this hill for hours. Not suitable for over three pilots in the air simultaneously.
