Ground hog day

December 30th, 2009

Heading to Nth launch again today. Goal set for Jugiong 34*49.326
148*20.408
900ft
Jugong 96k

How things panned out…
Nth launch ended up being blown out so we upped stumps and headed down to Geary’s. It was still on the strong side so we ended up sitting around for a while until we an air of optermisim wafted through the crowd. I launched first in a lull and almost bombed. Once I did head north though I was rewarded with 3m/s clb to airspace at 5500ft. The trip past Gundaroo, Murrembateman was fairly straight forward but constantly hitting my head on airspace was frusturating. I got high just before Burinjuck dam which made for ascenic crossing. That was pretty much to end of the flight though and I landed just a couple of km north of Carols range and one of our favorite launches in the area. Barnsie made it over the back and landed near Gundaroo. Ed pulled off a nice one landing at Murrembateman.
Another fun day out!
Heading to Forbes tomorrow and looking forward to running in to all the usual guys out there.
