Galgenen

Today being the only 'reasonable' day of this week, Andy and I went to Galgenen.
We have chose this site because it's a site mostly flown with 'Bise' (an easterly wind predicted fro today).
I have been here for the last time on in May'99, flying a ProDesign Target.



Conditions looked more promising than they finally turned out to be. While Andy could fly for about an hour, I was never able to climb above launch :-((
Shortly after we had landed, 2 Icepeaks had to land as well...






LZ - freshly manuered
When driving up to retrieve my car from launch, I met Barry, who has been our guide on my visit to South Africa in January'12 (shortly before my accident). He is touring Switzerland for about 3 weeks. I can highly recommend his company for anybody wanting to fly in ZA. Or join a group/ tour who is guided by him.
