Route overview
Starting and finishing at Gympie Airfield, this course is circular in nature, making for challenging navigation due to the variation in coastal and hinterland winds — not to mention the distraction of the beautiful scenic views over the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay regions. Direction will be dependent on the wind direction of the day.
