But that is because I've really not had much to talk about! I recently went through a bit of a lull where not a lot was happening especially on the flying front but things seem to have sorted themselves out a little bit (for now at least, although the weather is becoming more ominous as the months march on). Today I had my Critical Point 2 flight which I passed, which means I am now cleared to fly away from Hamilton Airport into the local area on my own... The local area is a large 50 odd nautical mile box around Hamilton so it's quite a big area I have to play in - some 8,500 or so square kilometres! Now that I have got that flight out the way there are lots of solos so the flying should hopefully progress a bit more quickly now, weather permitting.
I got my solo certificate for the First Solo I did a few weeks back, and here's a quick pic to prove it exists!
In other news, the family came to visit and have now set off on their whistle stop tour of NZ so hopefully they are enjoying that! Before they left we visited Raglan and a nearby waterfall, for both of which there are some pics below:

And the Falls themselves
So that ends this update, hopefully these local area solos should give me an opportunity to take some more pics so when I have amassed a couple of worthwhile ones I'll make another note.
