They still haven't got around to building the new one down the road.(unless you mean the really old one that used to be right beside the river, where you had to roll down in to the river sometimes to get a run up.)

I guess the really old one by the river if it's the same one I think of is where a certain person rolled up a 47 doing just that, downwind and downhill and hey presto, smacko into the rocks with two rangers on board.
Same certain person actually picked up a saftey award a couple of years ago for a history of no prangs???????????????????? convenient memory?????????

other one - if its the one on the grass in the park you refer to that is now used - is conveniently placed for T/O and translation in ground effect into the dry season prevailing and quite simply by taking off in the nearly reverse (+135 degree) direction over the cleared approved flight path the same for the wet season prevailing?????? or am i in the wrong location.

All's needed in wet season is pedal turn upon arrival and hey presto right in front are more smiling tourists just waiting to give you handfuls of cash.
