Yesterday we did some winch towing on the frozen lake Mjøsa, Erik had 9 flights and I 7. It was light snow and almost no wind, pretty cold at the end of the day, but nice just to play around in the still air and improve landing technique.

The last time I derigged the glider I had to wear gloves to avoid burning my hands on the warm battens, this time I had to wear gloves so my hands would not freeze stuck to the battens. (Tounge on rail syndrome :-))

I got my glider from Australia on Friday, the box was reasonably whole, but had a hole that looked like a forklift had hit it. The speedbar was lying loose inside the box, the forklift had hit and dented it, saving the sail and tubes inside the glider. I have not set it up completely yet, but everything else looked whole.

There was soaring on Sundvollen in the weekend, but I was in Trondheim celebrating a friends birthday.

The competition in Bassano is cancelled, this seems to be the final decision now. The Swedes are arranging a comp in Feltre, maybe we should go there if they want to expand the comp a little? Le me know what you want to do! I do not want to freefly all easter …

Oh yeah – Sorry guys, but I have sold my old Litespeed to Tenho from Finland, first come first serve. (And he drove from Helsinki and back)
