It won't be spectacular but it will be fly-able.

Taupo.
Saturday should be OK...light to moderate winds from the west, bases of 5-7000ft and medium thermals. At this early stage tasking out over the forest to the east and then down the side of the Lake (western side for a real challnage). It looks like it'll get better and better as the afternoon moves on. Could be a little blue-ish.

Sunday. More wind and more cloud, but still ok although the range might be a little less. Nervous pilots will be able to park up on the hill...Maurice.

Aero-tow home looks OK if a little rough...good experience. Reminds me of a aero-tow home in a Ka7 years (and years and years) ago. Tow pilot couldn't decide whether to go above or below a band of cloud...needless to say when the decision finally came it was a very rapid descent, airbrakes open, full speed, rope slack - then tight - then slacker and so on...
I my younger, less experienced state I finally bunged off at 6000ft over the Papamoa Hills and worried but making it home...yeah right.
