...most difficult day of the week... bubbles bubbles bubbles ... and windy at the end
OLC-Flight-Route
There might be a chance of flying tomorrow from Jena or Laucha... I called Sven from Jena, he told me that some pilots from Rostock are at a gliding camp in Jena... and I could use his Caravan for the night.... so the decision was made...
morning in Vrchlabi...

Lubos helped again (thanks)... he speaks German fluently and also trains German flight students...

Liberec tower... tried to follow the hills more than the clouds...

above Zittau

I was happy that most clouds were gone... they were no use...

Got clearance for Dresden airspace... controler complained that I did not stay on Flight Level 50... so I had to leave to the south...

weak thermals and head wind... I am very slow... and still get low... time for 7 minutes engine at southern corner of dresden airspace

reaching good clouds

29km/h head(left)wind... climbs give 0.6-0.8m/s... not enough against the wind... 20km before Jena I give up at use the engine...

home for tonight... Jena Schöngleina.

.... here I met Torsten and Juppi, two glider travelers.... they use one Kestrel and a car... they started in Klix today... landed out after 100km and arrived by car and trailer... we had a nice evening together... see https://torstenbeyer.wordpress.com/ for their stories in German
