Gliding 10th May 2015



Winds were forecast light and low-level wave unlikely, but upper winds of 30kts showed some promise if we got high enough. John launched at noon with a high tow to rotor scraps in the lee of the Dunstans and then headed northwards. Roland and Pete soon followed. Both Pete and John made it to Mt Cook via differing paths, both flying over 440km. Wave was poor in the Omarama Basin but the Ben Ohau wave worked well at height.

Roland got into the Dunstan wave too, and later in the day Wills took an instruction flight with Doug in JW but by then then local wave had gone. Thanks to Russell for the tows.
