Latest news from Piedrahita

Reynald Mumenthaler 3. September 2008 XC Open Piedrahita
Piedrahita is still an excellent spot to finish the european season. We had 2 fantastic days and Chrigel managed to fly more than 200km the second one!!! As a good geneva pilot I explored during the first day a forbidden area and the organization decided to stop my flight where I entered in this zone....this decision was a little bit strange as the organization wronlgy informed us about this area and they first recognized their mistake and validate all flights. However they changed their mind and I lost half of my flight...anyway at least, it was a nice flight in the Madrid flatlands!
Yesterday was a rest day as the wind was not that good at the takeoff,so we had a great BBQ with all swiss pilots in the "Swiss house". As you can see on the picture, there is also in Spain the famous "Rostigraben": it is the wall between both appartments!!!! Today, the task was stopped because of the strong wind. Soon more pictures on www.alpsfreeride.com and we hope to have good conditions for the rest of the week
