Straight Point Ranges Firing Notice - 21 July to 25 August 2014
To assist in planning sea kayak trips, I will try to keep this posting up-to-date as and when I get the firing notice.
A plan of the Range Danger Area is shown below. Going into the Danger Area is extremely dangerous (even directly under the cliffs where ricochets can land). A safety boat will often stop you, but if not, firing will stop causing disruption to training until you are cleared out of the area. Please keep out of the area when the Ranges are in use.Although of no interest to paddlers, I also include the Air Danger Height as when you Google "Straight Point Ranges Firing", this website comes up, and some users may be pilots.
