Central Plateau Soaring Competion

New Zealand,   November 1, 2009 – November 7, 2009

Practice Day Set for Saturday October 31st

Every year, a favourite club challenge is to "Fly Round the Lake". This task usually involves taking advantage of the lake breeze convergence, but for the truly adventurous can include a side excursion north to Kawerau and Opotiki, or south to the Crater Lake on Ruapehu.
