Circuit Departure

[octave]

How would you depart?

 

The runway points out to sea (east), I wish to fly north, I can not get to circuit height by flying the runway heading and still maintain the capacity to glide back to land. Many pilots seem to depart from xwind. The document "Operations at non Controlled Aerodromes" only seems to mention maintaining runway heading until at least circuit height.

 

love to know what you all think.

Sounds to be the safest option. What do other users of the strip think?
