Just when we thought we would have some rest after yesterday’s long drive from Vittorio Veneto, the forecast sends us to Italy again! Leaving to Bordano in a few minutes… Cloud coverage forecast for today looks better in area of Gemona Our original plan to fly from Gemona launch failed because of the road works on the way up. We had to turn around and go to Bordano launch instead. By the time we were at the … Read More
Today the weather forecast looks much better for Italy, so we are leaving early and hoping to have some good flying! No livetracking today, but there will be some good photos, we are sure! After two and a half hours drive we are at the Pizzoc launch, getting ready for an ambitious task from Vittorio Veneto to Bordano.
It is raining today all over the Alps, so we use the day for studying local meteorology and forecast websites, watching and analyzing the gopro footage from the day before and tuning almost all harnesses afterwards. Finishing the day with the long lecture about thermals and thermaling, and even little bit about tuning the gliders.
The skies look sunny and clear, the forecast promises quite flyable weather in Greifenburg area. Today we will go up to Emberger alm and have a task around back mountain ridge and the Weisensee lake. Having a morning briefing at the Emberger launch. By the way, today we will introduce livetracking to our guys, so follow us online!
The course starts only tomorrow but all our pilots are already here at the Emeberger launch, getting ready to fly! For some of them it will be their first ever flight in Greifenburg! The conditions aren’t great: even though the winds are light SE, the overcast skies make everyone’s staying up quite difficult. Artur goes first on the red Gecko. Everyone follows right away! Only Edward isn’t flying today, having rest between the two courses he is taking part in.
The day starts quite early for us today. We still have the same unstable air mass, which will cause early showers and thunderstorms in the area of Greifenburg. Therefore to save the last day of this course for flying we need to drive down to Bordano where it is predicted to be friendlier. Back there in the Alps we can already see the signs of overdevelopment, but in over Bordano and to the south of us in Italian foreland … Read More
Today the flying will be governed by a possibility of an early thunderstorm, so we are heading off to Emberger Alm hoping to have an early task. The task is to fly along the valley and then jump over towards Weißensee. The sky is looking safe at the moment and the pilots receive the last hints before taking off:
Today we stay in Greifenburg as the weather has finally improved. The plan is to fly a classical task in Drau Valley and to land in camping. The pilots are getting ready. The first guys are taking off:
Today we have a moderate northern flow over the central part of Carinthia, which provides a promising opportunity to try out a low launch in Radsberg, south from Klagenfurt. So we are setting off to its direction now hoping to get an interesting flight down there. We see that our assumption about the conditions was right and paragliders are already in the air. This low launch exposed to SE wind direction is affected by the valley wind and allows … Read More
