Ha - easy! ;)

If you think NZMF is hard try this - once you landed on NZMF take-off again. Enter the valley to the south and following the river (you know you got the right valley when you see a small lake at the entrance - the valley is perpendicular to the runway). Follow the valley to the end (there are a tight few turns). Right at the end you find a small airstrip. Unfortunatly, you can't fly straight in because there is a rock right in front of it which you need to swerve around. After landing break hard. There is no second try as the runway is right in front of a massive cliff. Welcome to NZQT (Quintin) - still an old favourite of mine! In fact, the airstrip has been closed a few years ago...

You do however need my NZ topo and the 20m mesh doesn't hurt either (gives you more accurate cliffs in the valley and approach). The airstrip isn't in the default scenery :(

Cheers,
Christian

By my reckoning, approx 44.79 S 167.75 E See the arrow in the pic. (apologies for the elevation map misalignment, but it's still a work in progress! :rolleyes: )

I've also ringed a few other strips that might be interesting... (not actually tried them though)

Sorry, my coordinates were in decimal, yours are in minutes & seconds. 0.79 degrees = 47 minutes 24 seconds (multiply by 60)

great map. I've visited most of them, Martin's Bay is a really easy one (top of the map - there are 2 strips close to each other), Lake Alabaster and Hollyford Valley are a bit more tricky, but nothing compared to Quintin. Another really good one is the Siberia valley one which is further North (ie west of Lake Wanaka) - don't know the coords, but should be relatively easy to be found using google or google maps.

Ian - using heli's is cheating ;) Does help in Quintin though. I certainly would recommend the Beaver or Maule, Porter may be even better!

Hmm, time I took my Do27 for a ride - and maybe write up some tours. Or something with the Fletcher...

Cheers,
Christian
