Ebenalp

Almost exactly 1 year after my stupid accident here on the Ebenalp (when I broke my left wrist) I came back for a really nice flight: cloudbase > 2500m, nice thermals (up to 5m/s), generally not too much wind.
In the gondola up to launch another pilot had told me that he would try to fly past the 'Säntis' to Amden (on the Walensee), then East along the 'Churfirsten' towards Walenstadt/ Sargans and from there back to Ebenalp/ Wasserauen.

...on this launch I broke my wrist  :-((

Once I had launched and could see that it was not too hard to fly away, I tried to 'follow' this plan (more or less)...

I didn't fly all the way East towards Sargans/ 'Gonzen', as I feared I would not be able to make the crossing back towards 'Säntis', so I got all the altitude I could above 'Hinterrugg' and turned back...

It has been quite a while that I had been able to pass the 'Säntis' - actually even twice today :-))

'Hoher Kasten'

To extend the flight a bit I passed the launch at Ebenalp and turned around only after having passed 'Hoher Kasten' (more to the NE).
