About 300km's...not the fastest day. Had a few lucky breaks, low save just as I arrived over farmland coming out of the forest. I had dumped my water, was looking for a paddock and cursing the Landcorp shepards who had set stocked their ewes in every paddock, when I stumbled into a 4-5 knot climb.
Earlier I had been saved by a fellow pilot who found a climb near Goudie's. He went off and landed out.
Got lucky again over near Tihoi...struggling around at 3500ft (the ground is probably 2000ft) without a real plan when I managed to contact a convergence and climb up to 7000ft, enough to run into the circle and final glide home. 15 minutes later the big Duo Discus missed the same climb and landed out...
