Amateurs of sailplanes, if you never tested the flight of slope, you passed close to great pleasures. Many are those which, in our club and much of other also, learned how to control the quiet flight in all its dimensions thanks to the dynamic ascents of a good slope. No need for tug boat or winch for the setting in altitude, a small "flick" and hop, here the sailplane in its gas element. The area of very undulating High-Normandy is favourable with these flights which can last of long hours (attention all the same with the discharge of the accumulators!!). If you pass in the area of Treport do not hesitate to come over the sites from the valley of Bresle which we practise as soon as Eole starts to blow and also come to take part every friendly year in our meeting which always occurs in the joy and good mood. For the winds of SE with S-O, Neslette with Nesle-Normandeuse with one Denivelle 110 m or then the SAINT LAURENT Vault with Have; Criel on Sea for the winds of N-NE and, for most daring, when the breeze position with NO, cliff flight between Treport and Mesnil-Valley (do not approach too much the edge of cliffs because there are always risks of falls of ground).
