This is a master list of the Waikato flying sites, use this thread for main listing of flying site directions, then go to the flying site thread for directions to get there etc.

Raglan, Wainui Reserve = Westerly site, will take slightly SW, but is best in slightly NW. - Great flying site with excelent access and landing zones, watch out for flying quilts!

Ruapuki and Tauwhare are SW sites, Tauwhare will also take a NE in the valley behind so is a good DS site. Both sites require some walking up-hill!

Pukemore = NE and is a HUGE slope with awesome lift even in light conditions. Drive to the top will require 4wd in damp conditions, although there is a smaller site lower down the hill which is also very good.

Te Kawa has a SE face and a Northerly face, the latter is considerably smaller now due to the growth of trees over one quarter.

Matamata also has a good SW slope up on the Kaimais by the quarry but requires 4wd and there is a donation required to use the access road.

Update on the Kaimai slope - it would appear we may have lost access ti this site since Swap, who own the quary, have bought the land. Dreadlock aka jason mentioned it a few weeks back and i forgot to update this part of the forum.
