Now is the time to think about the tasks for next summer. Gone are the days of trying to put a task together as you are cleaning your glider and under pressure to launch.
The task we haven't completed out of Tauranga yet is 500 km 3 turnpoint task in thermals. It's been done in the wave but not in thermals. We need a post frontal day with light W-SW winds that help the Kaimai ridge produce strong ridge induced thermals are well as not too muck Lake breeze from Lake Taupo. we actually get quite a few of these days.
Task - Start from Papamoa Hills because they start working early in the day - up to the Hauraki Plains before the sea breeze gets in then down past Taupo hopefully around the lake breeze, back up along the Kaimai's just to the edge of the sea breeze convergence and home. Piece of cake...yeah right. But lets give it a go. All the turnpoints have been achieved fro Tauranga.
