Fanas

Sorry for not having posted for such a long time, but flying opportunities this spring have been pretty scarce and furthermore I have been to Germany (Hamburg and Mecklenburgische Seenplatte) with Ruth for 3 weeks of sightseeing and boating...    >> pictures here

So after almost 2 months of not flying today offered a chance.
Together with Andy we went to Fanas (probably my 'mistake', as first we had wanted to go to Fiesch and after having studied the different forecast we (probably wrongly) switched to Fanas. We shall see tonight when today's flights have been uploaded.)

Anyway: the day looked pretty nice, but people were taking off rather late and had trouble to climb quickly to a good altitude for crossing over  to the 'Kreuz'.
So it actually turned on only after 1200. But I have been not patient enough and I departed Fanas with less than the 2700m min alt required for an easy arrival over Stels. Therefore I lacked the 100+m I didn't climb before starting my crossing :-((
So promptly I paid for my mistake as arrived too low and wasn't able to climb up again...

 So quickIy had to land in Schiers (at least close to my car...)
