********************************
Analysis from Friday:

Even in the morning the weather reports predicted a high cloud coverage. The "hanglider-report" did basically say, that no usable thermals will be.
In fact, this high cloud coverage disappeared completely during the morning. As the sun could heat with 100%, the thermals where good enough to fly in some parts:
- Fanas: Week thermals from 13:00 on. Strange to fly, but the best pilot managed to fly 100km. But Fanas we could not go for only one day.
- Grindelwald: Similar situation. A task would have been possible.
- Interlaken: Chrigel had a "Regio-Training" with 20 Pilots. No-one could go higher as 200m above the take-off site. A task would have been stupid.
In short: We should have gone to Grindelwald...
