Landing: Land next to your car, beside the eucalyptus trees. There are plenty of sugar cane fields available for emergency landings.
Getting There: From the motorway (Grand Baie - Port Louis), take the Montagne Longue exit. Turn right at 'La Croisee Montagne Longue'. Before reaching the actual village of Montagne Longue, turn right onto 'Ducray Street'. Take the last right onto a sugar cane dirt track. Park your car when there are no more habitations, next to a couple of eucalyptus trees.
Comments: A classic cross-country route is to go to the top of Pieter Both and back. From Pieter Both, you can continue down the Moka Range (Pouce, Ory). With some luck and good altitude, you can then head to Corps de Garde and Montagne du Rempart, depending on the northeast or breeze regime.
