WAIRARAPA PARAGLIDING LEAGUEback to paragliding page


This will be held on Wellington Anniversayr weekend: Saturday 21 to Monday 23 January.  (Reserve: Friday 27 - Sun 29 Jan)  The base for the competition will be Harry Emms' place just out of Featherston on the road to Martinborough.

Pilots are very welcome to stay or camp at Harry's place.  There is plenty of space inside, but bring your own airbed!  Alternatively there are five hectares you can camp on.  There will be a BYO food/drink barbeque on Saturday & Sunday nights.  You can arrive on the Friday night if you want.

Directions to Harry's place (06 308 6103) - drive to Featherston on State Highway 2, then take the road signposted to Martinborough (between the pub and motor garage).  Two and a half kilometres on the right is Harry's place.  Shortly before it is "Wildflower Cottage" and opposite is a large green Transit road sign.

Sites: Climie, Oystershell, Dalefield, Kourarau, Bennetts Hill.
