Notes:	Various members of the club have been up to the reservoir over the last year or so. In a South Westerly, the wind comes almost straight across the loch to the launching area, so it makes launching fun. In a South Westerly, the wind is also fairly gusty, as it comes across the hills to the South. Best directions are probably South Easterly or North Westerly.
