Suggested route overview

Notes

  1. As with Day 2, use the 6000' start to get upwind over the high ground onto the ridge to take you to TP 1.
  2. On the approach to Kettle Reservoir you will want to slow up to gain a bit of height as you round the corner onto the ridge taking you to the northeast and TP 2.
  3. After Lock Haven you need a little height to jump over the local ridge onto one to the south.
  4. You can follow the ridge to the southwest to minimise the crosswind component of your final glide. Somewhere along the ridge you should find a decent thermal to get high enough to cross the high ground back to Mifflin.
