One way time to launch, Bob. If I have a driver I will fly home 90% of the time. All XC routes here lead to home or onwards. We are so, so lucky.
Awesome place to live and fly, as
tige_matt aka Matt Dettman is finding out, having just moved here from Cauli-fornia.
15 mins to Predator Ridge (SE)
20 mins to King Eddie's Baldy launch (NW)
25 mins to Grandview and / or the launch above Vernon Airport's LZ (S)
35 mins to Deep Lake "Secret" launch
40 mins to Coopers (E) and Saddle Mt. "Secret" sites (W, S) in Lumby.
40 Minutes to Vernon Mt (S, SW)
60 mins to Bolleen, Bastion, Black Knight and Sicamous (S)
60 mins to Mara and Stoney Creek (W)
70 mins to Tappen, (NW) Spyder Creek (NW) and Canoe (N, NE)
2 hours to Revelstoke (S, SW)
2.5 hours to the Kamloops area NW of here with Savana (W. Savana Microwave Tower (N) + the interiors highest launches at Cornwall (E) and Sun Peaks (NW)
2.5 hours to Cawston (W) Kobau (E, S, W) and Anarchist (E-SE) and Ripleys (NE) in the Sth Ok valley area
etc etc etc... See our Site Guide:

and those are only the big name, publicly advertized and very local sites near
Vernon BC Canada!
tige_matt aka Matt has to add 40 minutes for all sites in the North Okanagan, but gets to chop off 40 minutes for all the ones in the South Okanagan because he now lives in Kelowna, though if he's smart he'll buy a house in Lake Country, half way to Vernon - just like the 1/3 of the Hang Glider pilots in the valley that already live there!
Come over here for a really cheap, fun, camping holiday! Bring a solar shower and / or swim in one of hundreds of
local lakes!
