This paragliding site in South Africa, with a height of 413 meters and a height difference of 270 meters, is occasionally used for walk&fly. It offers several takeoff options and is suitable for soaring, thermal soaring, and cross-country (XC) flights. The site is known for its northeasterly/easterly orientation and is said to be flyable when other spots are not. The launch area is located on a fire break with rock outcrops and scrubby fynbos on either side. The coordinates for the launch area are S34°04.794; E18°24.670. Access to the site is through the Silvermine Reserve. Enter via the boom and office on the north side of Ou Kaapse Weg. Show your Wild Card and club membership card to the park officials. Drive along the tar road towards the reservoir car park for about 1 km and park where a broad track goes off to the right. The firebreak is a continuation of this track as it goes over the crest of the hill. Parking is allowed only on the tar road. Access may be reconsidered once the SAFCOL land-handover is finalized. The path to the launch area is part of the firebreak itself. Older information from 2006 describes the site as a small thermic site used when nothing else is flyable. The wind is typically from the northeast (berg wind), which can be very unpredictable. If the wind is strong and gusty, or if there is a dramatic mixing of warm and cold air, it is advised not to fly. Head out early for landing if descending. Directions to the site: Head south on the M5 to the end, turn right, then go up Ou Kaapse Weg. Turn right at the top and park in the gravel area before the pay point to Silvermine Nature Reserve. The caretaker for the site is Glen from CPNP.
