Hi Al
Maybe too late - but here goes.
Taupo is pretty scenic - Taranaki, Tongariro, Ruapehu and a couple of
other volcanoes etc.
The Wellington GLiding Club at Paraparaumu is easily driveable from
Taupo - nice ridge - DG1000. Kapiti coast is spectacular. Bruce (.)
Hoult at gmail - is the man to talk to...
Omarama is over 4 hours by car from what remains of Christchurch - so it
is a fly and drive a LOT option.
My record is 2x Omarama (one week of mountain course, one day in wave a
year or so later). Once to Paraparaumu(no-one flying in the rain but the
car museum was worth the visit). If you have the time - go to Omarama.
If not - lots of great places on north island.
Cheers
Bruce

Going to NZ for a trip tomorrow, will be based out of Lake Taupo.
Are there any gliding clubs/operators in the mid north island area?
Will try to get down to Omarama whilst I am out there also.
Cheers
Al
