Well Nik and I have been doing more of our tour, this time the North island. The latest few legs took us up the Wairarapa to the small airfields at Dannevirke and Waipukurau before reaching Napier. We both decided to fly the Cessna ZK-TGI for these legs. The weather wasn't ideal for flying due to very low cloud over our chosen destinations

No worries at Dannevirke, Nik had to do a go around due to a high approach on the shortest runway, I just swerved to avoid the drop at the end. Refueling at Dannevirke before we leave.

We had very limited visibility, maybe 500 ft due to the cloud at Waipukurau, I thought Nik was under or above me on approach :radar: , luckily it turned out he was no where near me, until we both landed on the same runway at opposite ends :unsure: I swerved and this was the view side on... :whoops:
