Strong West/Southwest winds over the next few days. Where can we get to in our gliders in a westerly? The photo shows a typical 200-300km flight out of Tauranga in the wave, then dropping down onto the ridge to run up to Coromandel and back down towards Pataruru.
The challanging bits are getting started in wave, and dealing with Airways staff to get airspace clearances, and finally getting enough height to make the long downwind dash back to the airfield.
All good fun...
