Sunny and beautiful in the Greifenburg area again! Decided to launch from Emeberger alm, discussing the route during our morning briefing at Gasthof post. Follow us with the livetracking today: Low cloudbase didn’t allow most of us to follow the task towards the higher ridge.

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!

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!

Only Edward isn’t flying today, having rest between the two courses he is taking part in.
