Italy - days 0 / 1: Bassano

Thur: leaving for Bassano del Grappa via Ofenpass (Swiss National Park), Vinschgau (Val Venosta),  Meran, Trient and Levico Terme. Luckily I left home much earlier than originally planned, thus I could avoid the after-work traffic in Meran, Bozen and Trento. I experienced the only stop-and-go in Val Venosta (but I had expected this). Here it's always the same: only one main road and everbody has to use it...

First longer stop in Mals (Venosta) for some Italian feeling' ;-)


Fri: Low cloudbose in the Fcst, but otherwise good conditions: little wind/ good thermals.

Unfortunately the 'Tapetti'-launch is presently closed for renovation, so almost all pilots have been taking-off at 'Stella'. But I have to admit that it went far smoother than I had expected: everybody 'behaved' and tryed to clear the launch area as fast as possible. Even some assistance to launching pilots has been given...

I made 2 flights, all-in-all flying for a bit more than 2 hours.

2nd flight - with cloud base a bit higher
