Awesome pics! Are those the Staunings Alps? I used to drink a great Kiwi brew called Steinlager--any of that around (not that hang gliding and beer have anything to do with eachother)?

One range is called "The Remarkables"... I'll give you one guess as to why ;)
Not sure what the other is. There's litterally hundreds... that's all this part of the country is. It's pretty fantastic.

Jim,
Thanks for the pics. Could it be you were looking a little cold?

So, Jim, is this Antigravity place strictly a tandem operation or can
one rent a glider and fly solo? Would appreciate any info about
resources for visiting pilots in New Zealand as you encounter it
during your stay. Marvelous country isn't it? 6:1 sheep to human
ratio... - Hugh

It's strictly tandem, sorry. The footlaunch places may have gliders, I'll have to ask Kevin. My internet time is limited so it might be a bit before I can get back to ya.

Yes, I'm freezing my A%*(@#@# off. Got here way too early.
No biggie, it's supposed to switch soon.
