It is placed at 1.809 m. west face at the dominant flow meteorological and it doesn´t represent any particular difficulty. The landing up is easy because of the breeze regularity.

The new take-offs from Levante and the wood´s ramp of the south-west for the delta-winged will be done during this season. Check on your safety belts and if you take off face the sails, make it sure before, the air space be free!

THE FLIGHT:

Hillside flights. With hardly 15 km/hour, El Yelmo allows to keep up and to do hillside on the left and on the right of the take-off. Be careful with the electrics lines on the right. Friends pilots, respect the priorities!

THERMICS: El Yelmo is generous in thermics. The rock, placed in front, on the right,has a thermic surely and, the whole higher of El Yelmo, generally for his geological characteristics is propitious at broad thermics.

The presence of numerous birds in this zone,(particularly vultures) are the best witness to follow. Even so, we must know, it is preferable to move away from relief, when the conditions are very thermics.

Remember that in a thermic, the first pilot to come in, he can turn around as he wants. The others one, to follow him, have to turn around, in the same direction that him.

In the summer, we dissuade to fly (gliding) between midday at seven o´clock in the evening, The difficulty is will not be in taking-off, but in the landing,

CROSS: It is easy from El Yelmo, to make distance.With a few height and a normal plan, to arrive up to Segura castle (5´2 km by 600 m. of unevenness) to go on to Orcera, then go to Siles. Raúl Rodriguez did 170 km. Come on!

ROTORS:With north-west wind, look out the south part over the rock situated on the right, and just in front of the take-off . With south-west wind, avoid north face of the hills at north to Hornos, at altitude bass.

RESTORATION:The orientation of relief, the vegetable robe, is surprisingly stiff in this this south part of Spain, and the regulator effect from El Tranco dump, are factors to accomplish very good flights of restoration.

In summer time, there are wonderful flights with sunset. One evening, in the summer of 1998, it was imppossible to land before eleven o´clock at night.

1- The one of parapente is placed on southward of El Ojuelo, approximately 500 m. from the village fountain, and it is the only officially designated.
For the begginners, Don´t worry! They will arrive with enough altitude.(Distance, take-off - landing: 3.900 m. by an unevenness almost 1.000 m. and if when you are flying, you can not remember where the countryside is, you will see it without difficulty in the reveille drawn in the central countryside area, There are no electrical lines around the countryside and it has a private parking. When you have to fold your delta-winged, remember the grasshoppers and other bugs, become in small accid patchs if they are flattened inside.They can be harmful for your wing or paraglider. Please, don´t leave any rubbish, don´t set any fire neither throw fag-ends and remember: The free camping is forbidden!
