It stopped raining!






After a thunderous night, I woke up to pouring rain here in Slovenia. Not good for a paragliding competition. But behold – in the afternoon it actually stopped to rain! I joined to Swedish pilot for an excursion to Bled and Bohinj, and here, the sun was out, warming our gloomy souls. Maybe it will even be possible to go flying tomorrow?

I also had the chance to interview Jouni from Finland, the first Nordic competitor in the gruelling endurance paragliding competition Red Bull X-Alps. With the help of his supporter Toni, he is going tot try and fly, walk and run from Austria to Monaco via several waypoints, criss-crossing the alps. The start is 19th of July, don't miss to follow the exciting race over the internet.
