Day 1 has just started low cloud this morning, didn't look too promising, but
it has all lifted and they are getting climbs to over 7000 feet now (mind you
the mountains are 5-6,000 where they are going).
A great atmosphere here, currently sitting in the clubhouse, watching the big
screen with tracking and commentary. Room is full of people.
I suggest that it would be worth geting the tracking on your computer, tey are
doing a great job.

A minor correction
Bruce Taylor is competing while Terry Cubley is there as referee. I think the
HD quality may well be worth it for the views that will be provided of the NZ
mountains and scenery.
Also for a more personal update on what is happening check out the Taylor's
blog on http://www.users.bigpond.com/akauffmann/gpfront.html

Just a reminder GPgliding begins tomorrow (Wednesday) and can be viewed I
gather in basic form free and in HD quality for about $A28 for the 5 days and
Wanaka Air Games are $A12 extra Shots will be live for the cockpit etc. Day
viewing is also available and about $A8
Bruce Taylor and Terry Cubley are flying while Ann-Kathrin Kiehn is one of
the commentators you will hear live.
Think Peter Newport and his team airsportlive need supporting for giving
gliding such a profile and some of this technology is from a team at ABC
Melbourne I gather. Think all this was developed for Americas Cup Yachting and
now it has come to gliding
For the cost of a box of beer it may be worth viewing!!!
