| takeoff | A bit rough in places but generally easy - suitable for beginners. |
|---|---|
| landing | |
| weather | Be aware of gust fronts from distant storms in summer. |
| rules | This site is on the edge of Delta 70, an aircraft training area but they very seldom come this far. |
| access | Take the Mazowe/Bindura road north out of Harare. Turn left up the Mvurwi road just after Mazowe. Take the next tar road left - signposted Mutoroshanga. Climb up a long hill on narrow tar and take the next tar road left signposted to Barwick School. Still on narrow tar you will now be approaching the Great Dyke, an unmistakable chain of low hills. Turn right at the Zimbabwe Alloys Caesar Mine road and turn left at the T junction. Go through the remains of a gate and wind along the gravel road. It takes a sharp right bend and climbs up the Dyke. Go over a cattle grid and about 200m later turn left up a track - you will see the remains of a hut on top of the take-off. The trip out of Harare takes about an hour. |
| comments | The site faces due east which is the direction of the prevailing wind. It can be flown in NE wind and ESE wind but a south-easter makes for a tricky launch. Thermals can be strong during the day but this site is frequently gusty or alternatively dead. Ridge soaring in the evening is worth waiting for as the view is great but it often requires good strong wind launch techniques because it is such a small hill (150m). Intermittent cell phone coverage. |
