Got caught bad at Marawaka.
Circling under cloud REAL close to a ridge trying to peek over into the Marawaka valley, I found myself boxed in trapped and committed to the gap
Hurtling down the slope in the rain and in the treetops I thought I was buggered, when I saw the end of the strip. The wrong end mind, but it will do so I plonk the old 185 in downhill and arrive at the departure end. Five minutes for knees to stop chattering and taxi back to the park bay where the Kiap is waiting in the rain
"Where the bloody hell did you come from, we weren't expecting them to send a plane this morning because of the weather?"
