he rain started to ease towards noon. With the wind shifting to North East I gave up my hopes for the west oriented launch of Zugerberg and headed for the east oriented launch of Ramenegg; about a three hour hike away. On arrival we ducked into a tiny alpine hut for a simple lunch just as a rain shower passed over us.
I later launched to glide over to the next hill and walked over it. No launching from there. Adventurous hike through the thickets to eventually reach Einsiedeln – a place of pilgrimage with a huge cathedral dating back to the 10th century.
Sunshine and difficult flying conditions announced for tomorrow!
