Bernadia (IT) / Lijac (SI)

Another day here in eastern Italy with 'difficult' weather conditions. Still some 'Bora' in the forecast, so we went first to Bernadia. With just a little more sunshine/ less clouds more than just an extended sled ride would have been possible...

LZ In Torlano

So we moved on to Lijac, where the 'Bora' was supposed to weaken in the afternoon. I had an excellent start: right after launch (at 600m) I could climb in one thermal to 1350m. Then I started flying east. But after leaving the 'protected' zone around launch, the influence of the 'Bora' could be clearly felt. So I turned back; above the LZ the wind was still 25-30kmh, tendence increasing...

Launch at Lijac: work in progress to make it (even) larger

Oppulent dinner with Nicole and Marco to finish the day ;-)
