And here’s the #map of my progress the last days (Aug 20-25) of my trip. Decent #flying in #Austria followed by a monster #hike up to the border with #Italy. Two flights to get close to #Slovenia and a massive hike across the border and to #Bovec. #Flight to #kobarid despite #bora #wind. More hiking to #Tolmin followed by a last flight to #skofialoka on the fringes of #Ljubljana airport’s CTR. #goEast #volbiv #paragliding #adventure #ozone #zeno #paraworld

#maps of progress from Aug 8-18. From #crapsogngion west, a big triangle in Fiesch and back East. Then through the #Engadin into Austria. #goEast #volbiv #paragliding #adventure

#Map of first week, #hiking & #flying from #Zurich to #Ljubljana. #goEast #volbiv #paragliding #adventure

Flying home is always special! Especially with a sky like this!

Flying over Alphubel

265km with a paraglider! Must be the new @paraworld.ch sticker

X-Alps vs Reality! 3 weeks to go. In August I'll try to hike & paraglide from Zurich to Slovenia. Here's an interview with @paraworld.ch (in German) on some of the thoughts I'm putting into the preparation: https://www.paraworld.ch/de/news/reiserueckblicke/rico-abenteuer/

Enough flying!
In the last weeks in the Sertão I flew 8 days. On 5 of those, I scored the world’s farthest flight.
On the other 3, I bombed out, somewhere in the middle of nature’s beauty. Reminder to self: Cherish these moments - they fuel our passion for this sport!

Why is your glider in a tree?
For the last leg of yesterday’s flight, I decided to follow the tarmac despite the crosswind. Hiking distances are enormous here so I sacrificed a few km’s rather than continuing west over “tiger country”. The road had no traffic, so why not use it as a landing strip! As I’m lining up to land a truck appears out of nowhere behind me, honking like mad, not appearing to slow down. Adrenaline. As I tucked in on the left shoulder, the road train barreled by in his lane, horns blazing. Safe landing, prefer the glider in the thorns than a stray line snagged by the truck. The kids in the pic helped me get it down.
How dangerous is big cross-country paragliding? Not very, unless you make stupid decisions. But as you make thousands of decisions in short succession, the temptation to make stupid decisions is enormous. Like deciding to land on a highway.

The remaining 8 hours and 39 minutes drive back to Caicó, after yesterday’s 470 km xc flight. Meanwhile, @rohnerdominic has launched. Will he do another 500 km today?
