Travel / Bassano - light rain (Video)

Yesterday (Thur, 2.5.) Andy and I have driven to Bassano (- Vereina tunnel - Ofenpass - Münstertal - Vinschgau -Trento -); a 7hr drive, partly in rain. Our first stop in Italy: Schluderns (Caffe Time) for an icream and a capucchino ;-)

Todays fcst didn't look too promising, but waking up in the morning we could see some 'blue disturbances' and no rain for the moment. Soon some gliders could be seen... After breakfast we drove to Tapetti-launch; where we met Hans and Thomas guiding a group of pilots from Flatlandparagiding. As the sky began to darken, Andy helped me to prepare my gluider and as I was finally ready, the first drops of rain could be felt...


Due to the wx, it has been only a short flight, but the wing seems even easier on TO and LDG than the 'normal' Leeloo ;-) 
But at least the flight provided enough data to make the following video: many thanks to Andy for editing my raw material and adding the music!

The rest aof the day remained wet :-( Dinner at Garden Relais: Steak & Salad and for dessert their famous 'Mille Feuilles)...
