Disentis -6: PWC Task 5; excursion to Fiesch

yesterdays sunset: Piz Medel

Todays a south westerly wind had been forcasted for the Disentis-Chur area; so a task of 98km was called with a turnpoint at Strelapass (near Arosa) to goal in Schiers.
The winner made it in 2hrs 20min Avg speed 42kmh!!

Results can be found here.

Already yesterday Nicole and Alberto had asked about going to Fiesch, where they never have been so far. So at 0900 in the morning we departed, even though the fcst didn't look very convincing. We drove across Oberalp and Furka pass and in less than 2 hours we arrived.
I elected not to fly, but accompanied them to Kühboden. The clouds of the approaching front had almost reached Fiesch, but luckily stopped and Nicole and Alberto could fly. They got high enough to see the Aletsch glacier and the mountains behind launch. Getting down was a bit tricky, as thermals could be found everywhere; also the winds on landing where a bit turbulent and strong...

Fiesch

Most probably there will be no more task (as far as I know by now (1800)); so Nicole+, as well as Joze+, will be returning home already tomorrow.
