2500 feet AGL Glider Contest Task in Taupo, New Zealand

With a low cloudbase of 4000 feet, and ground level of 1500 feet it doesn't leave much room for error! Especially when travelling over giant forests and rolling hill country. See the struggle as we track around the course and get low on final glide, needing to find that last minute climb over the picturesque Central Plateau region.
