Most exciting day of the week was Saturday when the staff of interAir had their day out. We made our way along the paths of a high ropes course and - even more exciting - we got the chance to enter a sailglider and had a short but terrific flight.
Balancing along the ropes was more difficult than I expected. I have done a fair number of Klettersteige in the Alps but this is a different thing as everything you try to stand on is moving!

Soaring was one the most exciting things I ever did. The start was great fun with the plane beginning to rise with the first move. It felt like a vertical rise! High up one has a view all around and it is great to hear the wind streaming along the plane. Unfortunately the flight lasted only a few minutes as we failed to find an thermal lift.

Hi Uli,
yes , you are quite right. Soaring is very exciting; generally all activities that take place in the sky ;-) . I started learning soaring when I was 15 on the plane (ASK-13) you have been going with too and it is a very fine thing. Unfortunately I have no club I belong to at the moment. But when I have found one again I will invite you. Maybe we will be lucky and find some thermal lifts so that you have a longer experience ;-)
Greetings
You are a very brave man!
