Return to Slovenia

After our enjoyable visit to Lesce Bled in May, we decided to return for more flying with my new friends during the Women’s Sailplane Workshop.

During May I flew the SUNSEEKER during their National Glider Championships, finding the airport and surrounding mountains perfect for flying.

The first day an Austrian pilot flew in with his SWIFT rigid wing hang glider. He was so interested in seeing the SUNSEEKER that he flew back the next day with a small motor attached.

The cloud bases were lower than in May but I was able to easily climb over the clouds, searching for wave lift.  Although the clouds looked promising no lift was found, but the view was worth the trouble.

After descending below the clouds, I found a very steep mountain with three climbers on top, half in the clouds.  I had to wonder how they could get up there.

Thanks again to the Lesce Bled Glider club for hosting the SUNSEEKER in their hanger for a second time.
