Hi Mick,
Sorry for the late response. I'm glad you decided to proceed without waiting for the AWOL race committee (me) to make a desicion. You're good to go...
Arrived safely at CPG
Had to get out of Gurney because the wife turned up with a load of her mates! Nice flight, flew it in real time, departing just before dawn. I was worried I wouldn't find the field as no NDB and nothing on Google maps but I knew I had to keep east of the volcano. Luckily the weather was clear and I got a good visual in plenty of time.

That was close! I messed up my fuel calcs and filled up in pounds not gallons! Realised about a third of the way in so climbed higher and leaned the mixture right back. I made it but will have to stop a few days here to replace some exhaust valves!
