We made the move today to the Hotel Bor in Preddvor, which is only about a 40 minute drive from Zelezniki. It's a very different place, however, with flat lands and then a large mountain range in the backdrop instead of the multiple valley's of Zelezniki.
After the last day of the Slovenian Open was once again canceled due to rain after many pilots had launched, I folded up my wet glider and gear and Sue and I headed for clearer skies and our new diggs. The weather was beautiful when we arrived, despite pouring rain back in Zelezniki. I quickly found a few other pilots who were interested in making a late afternoon flight and we headed up to the launch. I enjoyed a magical hour long flight with one of the more beautiful high mountain backdrops I've experienced with a paraglider. Boy did I ever need that flight!!
Sue and I finished the evening with a nice meal and then I finished my registration for the Nordic. Tomorrow they are saying that we might be able to have a short race so we will see... Have heard such optimistic forecasts several times this past week, and the weather forecast is less than inspiring....
My camera is packed in my glider bag so I'll post some pics from today tomorrow...
