Samoëns
We are now already a couple of days in the region of Samoëns.
We have already flown on Samoëns, Les Gets, Thonon les Bains and La Bourgoise.
We've also done a XC from Les Gets - Samoëns with flying over the Criou
In 2 days we're leaving this area and we're going to Annecy for flying the The Forclaz.
Maybe we're going to do a vol montangne tomorrow. We would like to fly the Criou, after three hours walking.

La Suisse
Yesterday, we left Arbois and climbed the Mount Poupet.
After 5 days of bad weather finally some good news " Sunshine"
We flew the new glider there! We had a very nice flight, about 30 minutes, but we didn't take pictures because we want to have a save and calm first flight with our Metis II and two new harnasses.
Had also some nice thermals like +2
We went to Champagnole, St Laurent, Morbier and Morez, and now we're in Les Rousses 1150m. This evening we'll take the boat to Thonon Les Bains, so tomorrow we're in Mieussy/ Samoens.
Also added some new gps tracks

Mont Poupet - Jura
We are a few days in Port Lesney, a little village near Arbois ans near the Mont Poupet. The weather isn't good, it's raining a lot and the clouds are low.
So we went to the local school for fixing the second part of the reserve. You can see at the pictures the weather isn't that good for flying.
The boss of our camping always says "it's gonna be good weather tomorrow" but shes always wrong... we'll stay here for 3 days, and we hope we can fly the Mont Poupet tomorrow or the day after.

Jura
Today we arrived in Baumes les Dames, a little village in the Doubs.
Today we're going to drive still 70 km to Arbois. Yesterday we drove 100 km, and we climbed the Ballon d'Alsace!
It was nice to do, but hard to pull our luggage.
new gps-data added, but we couldn't add new photos because we couldn't resize them. Hopefully we can do that tomorrow.
The weather now is good, sunshine, but they say it's going to rain and thunder this evening.
hopefully we can fly our metis II soon.
