Trent, Dave, Carl, Andrew and Ryan headed out to Binalong on a cool 20ish degree day with a very light WSW breeze and an inversion to end all inversions. Not the best day for getting high and flying far but Binalong certainly shows huge potential when the warmer weather returns.

The hill boasts many TO options and has a small, sharp and exposed valley running up the face left the by what seems to have been a landslide many years ago. This trigger was working even in very light cooler conditions and is looking to be extremely promising.

The hill has a fantastic bombout paddock as Carl showed us and has XC opportunities heading ENE to Crookwell and really in any direction you want to go.

One point to note is that access to the hill is limited to the relatively rough track to the top of the hill, not to mention you could rollerblade down if you really wanted to. Doesn’t make sense, well no not really – you’ll have to make the trip one day soon to find out for yourself and then enjoy the little beauty that is Binalong!!! See you on top soon…
