CROSSING THE COROMANDEL

On Sunday arvo Rob Gillard a Raglan chipppie did an awesome new PG flight.

His Leonardo XC score 45.95 beat my 2013 score from the same site of 44.53 but his flight was a very ballsie route compared to mine.

He flew from Harry's (Thames) to the sports field in the centre of Whangamata. This is the first unpowered PG crossing of the range by a paraglider in this area of the Coromandel.

As the North Island goes not bad distance but a very inspiring new route that may be hard to copy - or wise to not copy! See Leonardo and congrats Rob for a new site record from Harry's. Bruce Vickerman.
