I took my brother-in-law for a womble around the Hokonui HIlls.
​These hills may have been famous for illegal whisky stills and wild sheep, but we were more interested in viewing the Southland Syncline. From the air, this geological feature is obvious. A series of parallel sharp ridges running 150km south-east from Mossburn all the way to the Catlins coast.

Today Southland's continual gale-force winds dropped to a mere 20 knots, so I took I took advantage of this 'lull' to relocate the Skyleader GP One demonstrator.

I flew in very bumpy conditions out past Winton to an airstrip on a farm at Oreti Plains. The hangar is very large and presently unused, so there's plenty of room to store the GP One.
