Oscar,

Not quite true. The summer season is certainly better for soaring in Sydney,
but winter is as good a time as any to learn, possibly better than summer
(no queues for sailplanes, nice & smooth most of the time, more comfortable
temp).

Camden is obviously your closest field, so you have Southern Cross Gliding
Club & Sydney Gliding to choose from.

Otherwise, you could go to Bathurst and do a 1 week course. This would
generally get you up to solo.

Feel free to message me direct, I live in Sydney as well.

Regards,

Nick Gilbert.

I am located in Sydney / Australia and wonder what the pros/cons are to do
a
glider course in our winter instead of our summer. Weather here is
generally
sub-tropic and I guess comparable with South Africa or maybe Spain or
Southern USA. Looks like a much nicer season to be out and about than the
40
degree heat ( and the flies) we get here in midsummer. Spoke to a guy in a
Sydney glider club and he recons winter is just as good as summer for
gliding here.

Any opinions appreciated -- Oscar
