Well after last weeks course we had flown around most of the area. And again we had 5 out of 6 flyable days and I myself logged up 10,5hrs without trying that hard. More was available…
Anyway today I set a 60km flat triangle around the whole area, for those who know Bassano we flew to Possango (T08), War Memorial (T01), Rubio (T13), Asolo Castle (B07) then back to goal in Semonzo (L01). It took us just over 4hrs. Base peaked at 2200m, which is pretty high for here. Check the turnpoint maps on the main web site…
Amazing viz greeted us this morning after the strong easterlys (bora) from yesterday. From altitude you could not only see the sea but also the tower in St Marks square in Venice and also the mountains in Slovenia and Croatia were visible, on the other side of the Adriatic! Insane….
Well done to Robert Smith and Ian who stayed with me for the majority of the flight, just landiung when it got tricky in the flats on the final glides home. 5m/s sink inbetween thermals was a real test of the performance of the Vega 2, great wing.
Maybe I’ll write more as the week goes on and may put some photos up, if I remember to charge my camera…
