Welcome to Competition Task #3 at Piako Gliding Club. This is PGC's largest Proving Grounds task, "Valley 150".
The 'PIAR Piarere' turnpoint is slightly different from the real turnpoint to fit it on the Landscape. If using an outside nav program like XCSoar or LK8000, it is best to double check with the Condor PDA that you have achieved the turnpoint.
