XCtherm 'promised' rather good conditions, so I headed once more to Arosa. My idea: launch from Weisshorn, then fly via 'Seta' (above Langwies) and the Schanfigg valley towards Chur, try to cross to Calanda and then westbound Flims, Brigels... and back to Chur, where I had parked my car in the morning.

| Seta |
After a good launch I needed some time to make enough altitude to cross to Seta; there good climbs to 3000m. Unfortunately nothing above Peist so I had to glide to Calfreisen, where I could get back up to about 2650m. With this altiudde I crossed towards Calanda, arriving there at around 1550. Unfortunately I just found some weak, but bumpy thermals... Landing in Chur after 1h35'.

Fazit: the first part (until Montalin/ Chur) worked more or less as I had planned/ hoped for, but after crossing towards Calanda it has been 'game over' ;-)
But as far as I can see, not all pilots could connect after this crossing...
