Summary 2015 - Chris & 4W traveling by glider

Summary:
48 flight hours in 12 days flying 2500km... met many very nice people and had a great time. I always found a room and never had to use my tent. Only at one airport there was no restaurant available, simply because the owner had birthday and it was closed.
This was the route:

Here are the airports:

Chris & "4W" (Jantar Std. 1 turbo ... the only one)

Strategy:
... the strategy is to fly wherever the weather will be good in the next days... just following the good weather. This way I flew of 22 of 24 days (2014&2015).
What does a normal travelers day look like:
... getting up at about 8o-clock and checking the weather forecast
... checking possible airports which offer start possibilities on the next day at the TravelByGlider.eu-Map, setting a target and maybe call the target airport
... breakfast in restaurant
... paying for aerotow and preparation of glider
... flying
... after landing asking for bed (and place in hangar)
... tie down glider or move it into the hangar
... dinner in restaurant (and meeting new people)
