The last 2 days I've spent in Meduno (Monte Valinis). My friend Marco is staying here doing tandems before going to Kobarid on Saturday to drive/ retrieve for the competition to beheld there next week; Nicole will also be going there to help setting tasks.

As you can see from the pix, it have been a fine flying days - a very typical 'Meduno-days': steady conditions, quite a lot of people, a bit windy on launch during the afternoon, not very high cloudbase and not easy to get away ;-)
On Thursday I could make 2 flights and then had dinner together with Marco; on Friday (where the wx has been much better than originally predicted) just 1 flight as afterwards I've been driving to Bassano del Grappa - hoping that the wx again will be better than forecasted ;-)
---------------------------------------- Insiders' tip -------------------------------------------
If the wind at the normal launch (HG ramp) is too strong or if you just want to get away from the crowd, there is a 'secret' TO spot just a few minutes of hiking from the parking; there is also a wind spy...
