First flights

Today was the first day after a longer time that we woke up into the sunny morning. The sky was clear, birds were singing and it looked like perfectly cometiting day. Even cumulus clouds appeared pretty soon. Despite the very optimistic weather forecast, the runway was in bad condition after lots of rain and snow and  was unusable for competition. 

There was however a possibility to make some flights from the asphalt runway. About 30 gliders took off and tried the weather. Speaking to pilots the weather was nice, cloud base around 1300m. They were trying to get to Vtacnik. It was weaking over there and there were few gliders that landed on Prievidza airfield. 

Other pilots decided to take rest and spend some time in bar. The atmosphere over here is very nice and friendly and we appreciate that pilots are very pacient. Around 60 pilots registered despite the bad situation and we are very glad to see all of  them here. We are still staying optimistic and we hope that we will fly soon ;)
