Australia’s famous friendly week-long hang gliding competition, the Corryong Cup, finished on 9 January 2010, with only two tasks lost to bad weather.
Tailored to encourage competitions newbies and fun, there is a floater class as well as Open and female classes, with approximately a third of the field on floaters.
Organisers say of the area, “Corryong is a perfect location for low air time hang gliding pilots to gain valuable experience flying in mountain terrain. The area offers wide open landing fields and you are only a few thermals away from Australia’s highest peak Mt Kosciuszko”.
Phil Schroeder won the open class and Gary Newton the floaters, with Helen McKerral the top woman. The highest ranked team, comprsing Adrian Boscoe, Nick de Lavaulx, Sam Prest and Adam Stevens, were ‘ARRRRRG’.
