New flying place discovered: Gura Bohotin

If you are a paragliding pilot from Iasi you shouldn't miss this place. On the way from Iasi to Husi, near Gura Bohotin there is a very long hill on the right side of the road. This hill is well suited for NE wind.

Boistea, strong wind, ground handling

Since it was very windy we spent time mostly with ground handling at Boistea.

New flying place: Rosu, near Cozia, Iasi

We discovered a new flying place this Spring in Iasi county, between Cozia and Rosu. The slope is shallow with many bushes, however it has good potentials for thermals.



Some pictures with this hill.

Flying at -16 Celsius. January 3

Flying at -16 is quite challenging because at this temperature the windchill while paragliding is around -28 Celsius degrees. Breath condenses on the glasses and then it freezes reducing visibility.
However it was a lot of fun :)
