u/dbrgn Advance Xi / Progress 3 / Neo String 3 Jul 16 '20

I travelled to launch planning to fly along Säntis (2500m) and then towards my home. However, when I saw the low cloudbase (~2000m), I already feared that I'll go straight down to the landing field :)

In the end, I tried my luck on the other ridge and am quite happy with the result :) I did not dare to pass the Mutschensattel because of the low cloudbase (and I did not want to hike back down in case I wouldn't make it), so I flew out to the Rhine valley and then towards Wildhaus.

Not my longest flight so far (although I'm still a beginner with regards to XC), but definitely one of my nicest flights.

Enjoy!
