If you have lost a 'beaten up' Flytec vario at Taylors Mistake launch area recently, please let me know and I will arrange repatriation ;)

Hi everyone,
Ok taylors wind meter ran out of telecom credit today as they have stopped providing the txt bundle we were using,
So although they have replaced it with another service,I thought i should take this opportunity to put it out there to see if we can reduce the running costs.

So first a bit of an explanation:-
Taylors wind meter is SMS and GPRS capable, it runs on 2 degrees.
at present the SMS data is send from the wind meter to a telecom mobile phone that posts the info on twitter for us all to see. it is not possible to post directly to twitter in NZ from the wind meter.

A community effort with Methven Lions Club, Mt Hutt ski area staff and the bus drivers of Methven Travel giving their time to welcome visitors to the mountain and to raise money for causes supported by the Methven Lions, this year proceeds will be distributed to our local schools. Mt Hutt’s massive six-seater chairlift will carry families, walkers, bikes and bikers to the summit where, weather permitting, they will be able to enjoy unrivalled views of the Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains. Visitors will be able to descend on the chairlift or walk or bike down from the summit.

Nick Neynens NZ triangle record should be on TV3 News tonight. Writeup on his website https://sharemyjoys.wordpress.com

Sky Cima (65-85kg) Paraglider for Sale
Approx. 40hrs of use

Good condition, available for a limited time only before I take it back to sell in the US.

Excellent for beginners. I bought it second hand from someone who had hardly flown it due to an injury (non-paragliding). I am selling it only because I am too heavy for it. Excellent for hike and fly because it compresses so small and only weighs 3.8kg.
