Het NK in Laragne was 19-25 augustus. Voor de tweede keer gingen we met de hele familie op ‘deltavlieg’ vakantie. De heenreis deden we in twee etappes zodat onze twee meiden de reis makkelijk konden verteren. Dat is ook goed gelukt want in het plaatsje Rigny sliepen we in een kasteeltje waar de service zeer […]

Gisteren had ik lekker gevlogen, alleen kort en ik was uitgezakt. Het maffe is dan dat ik tussen twee emoties inhang. Aan de ene kant blij dat ik weer een uur gevlogen had en aan de andere kant balen dat ik niet zover ben gevlogen terwijl anderen flinke afstanden hadden gevlogen. Mijn toestel vliegt ook […]

While going there, Arne was there too. He found a thermal and I went into the same thermal. Lucky me ! And […]

It was pretty windy today at the Chabre. The thermals were not doing it that great, so a lot of gliders were in front of the mountain. I couldn’t get the thermals right and went on finding it on the ridge to the next TP. I was getting lower and lower and decided to go […]

This morning we went to the Chabre. I was not pleased with that because with the prodicted West wind there would be dustdevils again. In the end it was no problem, but nevertheless. I started early and was on cloudbase when the first startgate was opened. That was great. I glided just behind Markus Ebenfeld. […]
