Mangart, Lijac

The day started again with clear blue skies. Already last night Marco and I had decided to go to Mangart in Slovenia, even if there was a better than good chance that we would NOT be able to fly due to the persistent N-, NE-winds. So we left at 0800 for the 2.5hr drive up to Mangart.

As we had suspected, it was still blowing too hard out of the North, so unfortunately I couldn't fly (but I'll be back one day!).
On the way back we checked if Kobala (Tolmin) was flyable, but we could see nobody in the air. Also in Lijac only a few pilots flew, so I deceided to move on, as I was to meet my friend Masa(hiro) from Japan in the evening at Pieve di Alpago.
