Lots of thinking, research and phones - even on a good weekend :-)

WE GO TO GRINDELWALD, DETAILED INFOS FOLLOW DURING THE AFTERNOON
- meeting probably at 10:15 at the cable car station First
- it will be difficult to find cheap parkings

Why Grindelwald:
Not Tessin:
In Germany and Basel the holiday starts. The traffic prognosis for Gotthard ist bad...
(TCS: Lange Staus und Wartezeiten sind bereits am Freitagnachmittag bis in die Abendstunden und vor allem am Samstag zwischen 8 und 16 Uhr zu erwarten.)
Not Fiesch:
Long travel for many pilots, boring km-flying along the ridge
Not Verbier, Vercorin, Fanas, Flims:
Long travel... We will go there, when central-places are bad and we are forced to go far east or far west.
Not Jura:
Fog and inversion
Not Adelboden/Tschenten:
Saturday we have a bit of an inversion and we will take off pretty late. Adelboden we should take of early and it is difficult to do small tasks.

Adelboden/Grindelwald:
Almost no wind, 5kn Tendenz W, higher up N
Thermal top:
12h 2000
14h 2300-2500

Ok? DETAILED INFOS FOLLOW DURING THE AFTERNOON
