It's 33 Degreessssssss - practice day

The track to take-off is dirty!

Practice day 2 and its 33 degrees! Wow that’s really hot – why did we pack our thermal long johns and woolly hats??????

The practice day task is set over breakfast at Hubert’s decided by the fact that Cherryville had a local fate type event happening. The blokes decided that they would fly in for tea and cakes or beer and nuts!!!!!!

Cherryville didn’t turn out to be quite such a good idea as the fate had run out of beer so we headed off in search of ice cool beers which we found at the local garage.


The landings were interesting as both Rich and kiwi Jon were unaware that the 'goal' field was way back down the road. Rich picked a nice big 'green' field whilst Kiwi Jon decided that landing on the wrong side of the river would be a better spot (he will tell you that he was committed to that field). So Jon got a lift back to the campsite to collect his VW Golf and drive back up the mountain to collect the truck that would retrieve across country to find his glider. On the way up the track there is now a rock called 'Kiwi Jon's crack rock - sump crack'! Is this the start of a memorable trip for him?
