Day 16:17 - Merano ... and any inconvenience!
Yesterday Pierandrea managed to take off before the cold front, at about 10 and about half an hour reached wooden bridge, where he had to land to adverse weather.
Today the day was undoubtedly better (in the sense that it was more or less flyable without time), although very challenging due to strong gusts from the northwest.
Pierandrea took off around 13 over the "case of the Face," a takeoff that is only 100 meters in altitude at the foot of the Stelvio and peaks of more than 3000mt group Ortles !
has held through the ridges to the north of Lake Santa Giustina and landed three hours later and after more than 40 km in altitude sufficiently above Crescent in how low the valley was off-limits to the strong wind and turbulence .
After nearly two hours after it went up for more height and to be better exposed to what related to the breezes, is ridecollato for a flight of half an hour in which he traveled about another 15 km landing near Wool, near Merano .
Unfortunately in the second flight did not find the conditions that had waited before taking off and landing was not the easiest due to the North claimed. In this case
has remedied the damage to equipment, lines and maybe other things that probably should be able to repair in time for the flight tomorrow and an elbow peeled.
Lienz Less than 130km, a distance that can be covered in a single flight without too much trouble, if there was a day of "good" in the true sense of the word.
For Sunday and Monday there is the passage of a disturbance with thunderstorms and rain spread into northern Italy ...
