Fully instaled in a lovely camp site in Kobarid, Slovenia. There are two camp sites near the gorge, Lazar and Koren. Koren is 8€ per person + 4€ for electricity, Lazar is €10 per person +5€ electricity.
There is a 'paragliding taxi' service - minibusses which will come to the camp site (if booked) and take you to the flyable take off hills locally. Easy! About €10-15 depending on where they take you.
We went to Kobala today. Nice grassy take off. Nice 1.5 hr flight in very weak conditions changed dramatically when I eventually managed to get to the into wind sunny edge of the ridge. I was rewarded with a 4m/s climb to base! Nice. Glided against some other wings today and absolutely blitzed them! If only I was the only one on an R10 I'd be laughing!!!
Not looking so good for weather tomorow :-(
The countryside is beautiful, the people freindly and some things (booze and fags) are cheap while others like eating out looks expensive.
We are here for the next 11 days so fingers crossed for some good weather. Will post again soon
How about some comments?
Cheers,
Sonic
