5.30pm day 7 Tue 20 Jan 09
The day turned out to be spectacular and dramatic. Heavy rain to the east and the north; most only touched the first circle because of low cloud base and rain. There was good cu for the rest of the track, and overdevelopment with exceedingly strong conditions in the north sector. Lift was variable, as predicted. According to Andrew Georgeson "the thermals were square". 3 outlandings: Tim Wilson and Jaroslaw Mosiejewski at Porepunka, Peter Trotter at Moyhu.
