Amazing summer with fantastic flying

Hi everyone!

It has been a while.
This summer has just been so incredibly busy. Good weather just keeps coming in bucket loads, so not much time for this little duck to update our wee blog.
We have been having the most incredible summer ever. Hot sunny days just keep coming. Sunscreen and my hat are life's essentials these days. The other day I think I heard the weather man saying - the last decent rain we had was mid December - and that is now 1 month ago! No, I am not complaining. I love our Queenstown summer, just keep it coming!!!!!!!

Angus, our chief pilot, managed to get away this month too. On January 7th, he flew some impressive 127km off Coronet Peak to the top of Lake Ohau on his solo paraglider. And that in a respectful time of 5 hours. Mt Cook was soooooooo close, and the NZ Distance record was another 14km away, but he was simply running out of daylight. See below some of his amazing pics.
Well done, Angus!
