Tawonga Gap

Heike and I flew Tawonga gap today. The site is on the west side of the Kiewa Valley and once you are airborne the town of Mt Beauty is just to the right. Launch is a skinny slot carved out of the trees and makes you want a good straight cycle to pull up in. On the right day, it would be easy to fly to Mt Bogong from there.

The thermals were light but we turned some circles and enjoyed the view. The sky clouded over and we went and landed.

Heike wanted to see if the both of us could hitch hike back to the top, but I said two people with wings was to much for most people to deal with. So, after no one stopped, I took the wings and hid in the bushes and told her to put on some lipstick, and bingo, the next car stopped...

The weather looks a bit funky with a trough moving in, but later this week we should be beepin' our way to base!
