I’m really sore today, the long march to Bovec got to me. The weather is great for walking, terrible for flying: windy, cloudy enough, not raining. I hike from Kobarid to Tolmin. It’s only three hours or so, but my pack feels heavy and my legs ache. Not to mention my shoulders.
Tomorrow the weather should be flyable. The Paragliding Slovenia SerialCup will be on, and I’m looking forward to some action on Kobala launch. After watching the comp, I’ll give it a shot myself. I spoke with Marko, a local I met in Brazil, who gave me some pointers on the way East:
“Cloud base will not be so good tomorrow and wait until afternoon when NE wind stops. Later in the day light SW wind should come and you have chances to made it to Železniki.
And one thing – between Koritnica and Sorica there are no landings down in the valley.” Also, Marko points out the limit, where you would run into controlled airspace of Ljubljana international airport.
