Day Tree

Wednesday was used by many pilots to do interesting things.

A group climbed the local hill, it was exhausting for some who needed the support of others.
Good teamwork.

The front went thru yesterday with a very light rain. Today is forecast to be blue around the Gliding Site(there must be a competition on :-) with a westerly on the ground about 10-15 knots with 20 knots at thermal height.

A challenging forecast to plan a task.

But the Panel rose to the occasion. After consulting a couple of wise heads the task has been set as Thames Out & Return. 341kms.   To thinking being that its thermals to the Kaimai Ridge (70ish kms) then a nice ridge run and 70kms thermals home.

To allow pilots to claim a Diamond Goal (and gold Distance) the start and finish points are the same.

Seems three lads are filling in the paperwork for this achievement.

As I write this at 12 noon. The sky is blue.
