Here is a HG Vid flying out of Corryong Au. Starting at about the 3 minute mark look at those blue skies and awesome Cu.
A far cry from -6f this am in Telluride.
I flew in the Corryong HG Contest in 1987, can't believe its been 34 years!!
This Clip also really shows how it is to pilot a modern Hang Glider XC.

1987 was the HG Pre-World's. I was there too. Nick- did you get harassed by the resident Wedgetail Eagle at Mt. Elliott? I saw the damn thing pulling batten bungees off other gliders in flight. Got some great photos when he came close to me.

Dang, that video really make me miss XC HG! Starting all over in gliders now - and I love it. But there's something about working lift in a HG that just can't be matched.
