Craigieburn Regional Paragligin Comp - Cancelled
Unfortunately the Craigieburn Regional Paragliding Comp is cancelled due to inclement weather. The organisers might have another crack at this in the new year.
Craigieburn Regional PG Comp postponed
The Christchurch Club is hosting the first Regional Paragliding Competition of the 2016/17 season.
All qualified NZHGPA member paraglider pilots are welcome.
This will run overLabour Day weekend, 22-24th October 2016, inclusive. Postponed to the 5th - 7th November 2016.
The comp will be held at the Craigieburn site, and is organised by Michal Talavasek and Mark Hardman.
There will be a training day on Friday 21st of October, designed to help newcomers and low airtime pilots to familiarise themselves with comp talk, strategies, instruments and geography.
Also, if enough people confirm will stay overnight for one or more nights, we can arrange to rent a house at Castle Hill village and also use it as headquarters for the weekend (to book contact Michal).
A BBQ will be available for everyone to use. Bring your camp chair and guitar.
There is no on-line registration system - please use the contact details below for further information and to express interest. Results from this comp can contribute towards your national ladder position.
Comp Organiser: Michal Talavasek - michal.talavasek@gmail.com or 022 340 4511
Scoring and Support: Mark Hardman - info@paraventures.co.nz
Here is a link to the waypoints file for the comp: Craigieburn Competition waypoints 2013.wpt
A DOC campground nearby is also a good option for a place to stay: craigieburn-shelter
Well, that sounds fine and dandy but what if the weather isn’t always on for paragliding? Should I still go? What is there to do??
Castle Hill area is spectacular on its own and offers cool sights and activities for all. The rock climbing/bouldering is great and there is even a cool cave to explore nearby.
The mountain biking is also great and well organised, offering kilometres of established trails. You should get your fix one way or another…
