The local Greolieres club arranged a regional comp today at Col de bleyne, i decided not to join for the comp since it is my first day flying for weeks… Conditions were pretty good, i got to around 2450meters and that was no big effort. I cruised over to Caille and then went back to the CDB ridge and back to take off. A sweet little flight. My plan was to topland,

but mission was aborted, the air was abit upset. So i went to the main landing and got a ride back up to get my car. Another perfect day in Alpes maritimes!

Well i’m in the ozone office waiting for Russ Ogden to finish his day so he can drive me to Greolieres! He’s a nice guy!!! Buy ozone gliders and support Russ ;-)

The photo here is from 19.00 on my balcony in Greolieres!

It’s nice and warm outside. About 25 degrees celcius, at least!

Luc and Russ here at Ozone are both saying that conditions here have been very good for xc the last week, today people are flying from Col de bleyne to Dormiousse via St Andre!!! I hope for a good flight tomorrow, maybe i will attend a competition organized by the club in greolieres!

But tonight it’s Barricade time!!! Pizza and beer!!!

I’m happy again ;-)

Anyway, today is my last day at Skysport in åre for the summer schooling! And tomorrow i leave for france.

First swedish group of pilots arrive on sunday. I hope Greolieres is well prepered with epic flying conditions and lots of wine!

From now on i’m homeless in sweden, so i’ll be living in a bag for awhile :-). Though i will stay in my place in Greolieres until the middle or the end of october, i think…

Ofcourse i’m still packing and moving out of the office, so very little time for play. But once down in france i will play and work everyday!!!

Welcome to my new blog! Well acctually my first blog… ;-)

I’m in Åre teaching paragliding and flying as much as possible when free. Sadly it has been a poor flying summer! When i’ve been free, i’ve been to tired from working ridicolous hours… So not much quality flying!

I will try to keep this Blog easy, informative and hopefully fun:-)

My latest contribution to fun being the fact that i walked in to a sharp rock while trying to launch from Åreskutan. This fucked up launch resulted in 11 new stitches… But hey, i took off and i got to try heli for the first time this summer with my new Ozone Octane FLX 25. Good fun whas had before going to the hospital for som stitches.

I now have 3 more weeks before going to Greolieres in alpes maritimes for more gouiding and schooling with some Swedes! I look forward to this!!!

After a hard summer and authum of work i will go traveling abit, India and maybe something more if i still have some money left! I will also attend the Coupe Icare in St hillarie, 18-21 of september. See U there maybe???

I am waiting for my Iphone that according to my webmaster will be the station for uploading news on this blog, from around the world!!! I hope he’s right.

See U soon
