Akdag take-offs?

Question: which spot to take off from when we fly from Akdag next week (weather permitting)? Two possibilities are shown below - a west Xanthos plain facing take-off, and a south facing take-off. The former is accessible by a track from one side of the mountain range, the other by a track from the other side. The latter has the advantage of giving you a glide down to a gully and ridge system that is sun-facing and is likely to be thermic. If you could glide down to this and then cruise along in a westerly direction in lift, you may have better height to make the crossing to Babadag - if this is the aim. This might be a more challenging flight though. We'll need to take a closer look when we're in the area.
