New snow on the hills and a strong cold southerly...damn near the longest day of summer too! Just Phil, Pete and JR keen, we met at 12 and were airborne about 130pm with Russell towing. Phil took a high tow in search of SW wave, Pete and JR released almost too early in the first thermals over the tailings. In the end we all flew a pleasant 4hrs or so. There was wave, though pretty localized, JR flew down to Roxburgh reaching 13,000', and later pottered about rather aimlessly in thermals. Pete flew down the far end of the Garvies, having a low scrape or two. Phil enjoyed the thermals in the basin which at times were pretty good once the southerly died out.
Thanks to Russell for the 3 tows.
