Dave and Carl went for a fly out at Lake George this afternoon. Carl made it down to Smiths gap for the first time. Nice flight dude.
Dave flew about as far along the ridge as anyone can go with ridge lift alone. Check out his tracklog. 80km of mid-May goodness. This sets a new bar for any ambitious souls wanting stretch their wings at one of our favorite local sites.
Dave’s even sent through some photos from the flight.
