I have had heaps of queries for the tour just wanting to clarify a few points.

The tour is open to both hang glider and paraglider pilots. We will be deciding on the exact direction of travel each day. Godfrey Wenness wants us down at Manilla early so we will be trying to get down there first. The main reason I don’t want to set an exact path is because I want to stay in front of the storms/instability we get at that time of year. If there are poor conditions at one site we go to the other and stay ahead like that.

The total distance is 585km so heaps of room to avoid the bad stuff. I have got four seats left and am throwing in free glider hire if I have a suitable glider available, first in best dressed scenario.
I have two way radios and phones available but pilots are required to bring their own instruments, harness and helmet.

I will be cooking a camp fire dinner most nights and can cater for vegetarians as well as carnivores we’ll be throwing heaps of shrimps on the barbie and mamoth steaks.

Also the HGFA are putting out a significant increase in visitors membership so this could be your last opportunity to be able to afford to fly in Australia.
