best Conditions

Wind Dir. : NNE
Wind: Mini: 9| Maxi 16 mph Gust Max : 22 mph

Description

For NNE winds. Medium sized area and fairly high. A nice spot.
Take off and landing easy (is also possible at area just after car park and at bench).
Tricky bottom-landing to West on stoney beach which disappears at high tides.

Jardin D'Olivet is a coastal soaring site with a scenic view, primarily suitable for hang gliders. The northern cliff face, located towards the bottom right-hand side of the picture, is the main area for flying. A wind direction between 010° and 040° is necessary for flight here. The cliff top is approximately 340 feet above mean sea level (amsl), but it is not very paraglider-friendly. The wind conditions required for flying here are similar to those at the Bonne Nuit site. Due to the lack of clean paraglider launch sites, it is generally avoided by paragliders and is more suitable for rigid flyers. Takeoff is possible with a northerly wind, and the area is very scenic. However, ensure you can top land before attempting to take off. Fly-on-the-wall landings are possible here for hang gliders. Top landing is recommended only for hang gliders, except for the very slowest types. The rocky 'beach' landing is the same as that for Vicard and should be avoided if possible. The top landing area is quite large. Flight regulations require maintaining 150 feet above takeoff (ATO).
