The one in quotes.

OK. I used it as shorthand for "launch site that's not shown on air
navigation charts and not NOTAMed".

I don't have any Swedish charts or access to their NOTAMs (do you?) so,
as I've said previously, I can't tell whether the field is marked on
Swedish charts or whether winching at this location should be NOTAMed.
Hence I have no idea whether doing so was breaking any regulations.

All I can say is that the winch appears to be on a permanent microlite/
hang gliding site and that, IMO, makes it a place that should not be
overflown in the way that it was.
