South-East of the Madmans Seat is the knob of a hill to take off from. It is small and a bit rocky. You will have to walk up (circa 20 mins) from the Madman's Seat. HG's could possibly get away from the road as it goes down the south side into the Black Valley. There are NO designated bottom landing fields, to date. Please be considerate to landowners, crops and animals if you are landing in the valley. Top landing is clear near where you park the car, but beware of much stronger winds up the middle of the Gap of Dunloe. Drive south through the Gap of Dunloe to the Head (top) of the Gap. Park here, off the road, please. Kerry Airport has Airspace that goes to the ground at the northern end of the Gap. Kerry Airport has Airspace that goes to the ground at the northern end of the Gap.
