Bassano

As the forecast for the Alps region (Vinschgau, Pustertal, Osttirol) didn't look too convincing, I decided to go to Bassano on my way east to Friuli/ Slowenia.

With the shuttle I got only to the lowest TO ('Stella); with hitch-hiking I was able to reach 'il pupolo' (H-launch) and from there I could ride with Hakan (SWE) and Daniel (AT) to Panettone, just below Mte.Grappa. Thanks guys!

When we arrived, we were still above cloud base, but by 1400, base had risen enough to launch.

'gardeners' - keeping the grass low on launch ;-)

Unfortunately, the wind was a bit too much westerly, this prevented a real good flight...
