Well its wasn't quite as good as I expected but still OK. The westerly got up earlier than forecast and was stronger than predicted so we had a thermal, ridge, wave type of day.
My best thermal was about 4-5 knots but I heard reports of 8-9 knots over Matamata.
The ridge worked although wasn't super fast.
An ASW27 was heard to be soaring the tree line at Tokoroa 200ft above the ground, and he wasn't particularly worried...
Three pilots crossed into the Waikato from Tauranga, I have the tracks of two...GNM and GKM. 180 and 150kms scoring kms respectively.
Total kms so far this season - 3400. Leading - Brett Hunter - 1400kms, next - David Jensen - 610 kms...and a bunch at 300-400 kms.
