A short video from the final flight of the afternoon last Sunday at Kössen, it was really feeling like autumn was starting to arrive with a large cloud inversion in the valley in the morning, followed by a day which took a long time to start and then when it finally did, a low base.
Despite the low base small XC flights are possible at Kössen, and it was great that I was able to get away from the hill as it gave me some good experience on the glider that I was testing. Embarrassingly I didn‘t quite make it back to the landing due to misjudging the direction of the valley wind, the downside of not being familiar with the accelerated speed of the new wing!
It was wonderful to fly in the atmospheric conditions, where it was possible soar up the outside of clouds and see Broken Spectres in the cloud.
