Running late, and wanting to make up time, forced a decision to cut the corner at Tokoroa. Everything told me that it would have been safer to go around the back of Tokoroa...near the valley of death (Atiamuri)...but no, so off I trundle into the blue over the cutover forest country northwest of Tokoroa. I got low twice, sworn a lot and eventually ended up over Tokoroa township at 1800ft feet. There were already 2 other gliders on the strip...GNM made 3 20 minutes later and we were joined by 2 more.
So that cost me second place overall...with one short, marginal day to go. I'm 181 points ahead of 4th, and 11 points behind second.
An all or nothing day I suspect....and it's an AAT.
