Take off is the Kleinkrantz take-off, then cross over the dunes to Paradise Ridge. There is no longer acces to the ridge directly. It is privately owned, maybe in the future it will be possible again, but as of this writing it has been closed. Topland Kleinkrantz, or land at the bottom of the dunes and a short, but tiring walk up through the soft sand. From Wilderness, drive towards Sedgefield along the N2, take the Kleinkrantz exit on your right. Follow the bend and take the third street on your left, towards the sea. Follow the dunes untill you reach a dead end and see the windsocks. Park in the shade of a tree. 465m ASL 465m ASL
