The weather has improved. We have been overshadowed by the weather
from Manilla but now the sun has come out and the birds are in full flight. This
weekend past has shown some promise of things to come with 127km flights for
several of the entrants. Some of the paragliders also got over a 100km.


There is still moisture around from the rain and tambourine has been pumping
with some nice cu's. Our lead pilot, Warren Simmonsen, has been the first to
complete each section of the challenge and is now working hard at improving the
flights he has. There are a few weeks remaining with Sat 14 April being the last
scorable day, so its still undecided. Easter weekend is around the corner which
should help the cause with extra flying days some of the entrants are planning
extra time off work to make the most of it.
