Weather forecast predicted very good thermals... but mostly blue. Mostly blue was correct, but thermals were weak...average was 0.95m/s. Destination for today was Prievidza, alternates were Bielsko Biala or Zar. Made 200km without and the last 100km with engine...

weak thermals in the mountains...

thermals got better in the blue part


Finally clouds... as predicted in the forecast for this area...

dead air... south of ostrava. Time to use the engine... this also made passing Ostrava airspace easier

One valley before Prievidza... just one good lift up to the top in needed... I found thermals but could not get high enough to pass Mala Fatra Mountains... so time for the engine again

I did not know that Arne, Mario and Ortwin are in Prievidza for giding holiday... I met them here for many years, but usually in April

Delicious dinner at Aerorest restaurant
My favorite drink.... Beton... Becherovka Tonic
