Day 12: Laragne

Laragne day 3 ... Mystery : No one knows where the big piece of blue cheese has disapeared ! Eaten ? Forgotten in some place ? going to be discovered with strong smell in few days ? Hopefully it is not in the van or in the caravan :-) There is strong suspicion that either Arnel or Arturo woke up in the middle of the night to secretly finnish it. It might even be a plot ! Both of them ? investigation is on going. Today Arturo documented the flight plan of the hole week. I will add it as soon as I receive it.
Today we went to Laragne for a sleder.



Key highlights :

1) ANATOLE TREE LANDED : As was said only the one who try become true champions : You are still our cross country champion, Anatole. Please note that the picture below is a reconstitution of the event as Maria is raising the wing :-) . Thanks to the GPS coordinates, it only took us 1h to find him.





2) Chloe has a new friend : I do not know the name in english but here is his picture :







We then went to Saint Geniez near Sisteron : Strong wind but still Bea, Arnel, Arturo, Erik and Patrik flew. Some videos will be added soon.


PS : Anatole was not the only one to land in the trees : a hang glider missed the landing. Like in any sport, there are noce and less nice people : This guy was rude and not even saying thanks to 3 pilots who took 20 minutes to reach him in bushes and rough path to clear the way to him. Lets put that on the account of stress after his rough experience.
