This is the Soaring Spot Test Site. It behaves exactly the same as the live Soaring Spot except a) Uploads are ignored and b) it always returns the same flight for download.

Central Plateau Soaring Competion

New Zealand,   1 November 2009 – 7 November 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. 

For more pictures have a look in the Gallery.
