Black Friday

The forecast for the weekend looks Okay for tomorrow Saturday.
Current cunning plan is to get out of bed "real early" and be ready to launch around 7am......
mmmm maybe that will be 7:30 :-)

Then a "dash" down to Wellington Club.
Depending on weather and time, pop over to upper Valley.

Then over the ditch to be at Omaka around lunch time.
Then another long haul down to Springfield and on to Timaru.

Depending on progress, then finally to the deep South and Balclutha to overnight
Thank goodness the days are a bit longer the furthe I go South.

The cunning plan then starts Sunday wiith a leg to Omarama, cup of tea then a long leg to Lake Station for lunch and back over the ditch heading north.

Of course at any time the weather gods could decide that I have to stop for a sleepover(or two) or divert to other destinations.

The joys of being a glider pilot, never 100% sure where your day will take you.

SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE:
Buggar contaminated fuel in my car.   Need to get it sorted by Monday morning so the big adventure abndoned for today..........maybe a reduced version depending on when I have drained fuel etc etc on car. Buggar!
