Gliding 29/30 Jan 2016

Vivienne flew down to Alex to get current aain in JW. She flew Friday and Saturday, getting her BFR renewed and taking some friends for PAX rides in JW. John, Pete and Roland flew their singles Saturday. It was a difficult and pretty stable old day. John dug himself a hole getting low over Cromwell, nearly landing, and was stuck on the east of the Pisa lowish for a long while. After nearly landing Wanaka he finally got high enough to glide home.

A big thanks to all the helpers including Doug for instructing and Gary and Russell for towing.

Pete flew later in the week, doing a good long thermal flight out west off the winch.
