French Alps, I’m coming!

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Yesterday briefing decision was – GO to FRANCE dude!

Detailed trip plan was mocked. When, with who and how questions were raised and mr. dude. Linas was on the top to answering to them.

Tomorrow is the last day in Lithuanian. Tomorrow we’re moving to destination by crossing the Poland by night. The right time to cross Poland anyway.

Why France? The question “Where the paragliding heaven is” – has one answer: “France – Annecy!”

We’re moving to paragliding heaven – French Alps. In total ~10 pilots group. Initial plan is get to the Annecy in a 24hours starting from 21.30PM of 07/16:

For those who does not know what Annecy is:

If to trust to google: ~2,200 km and about 24 hours of drive. Going by campers. Will see how it goes. In yesterday briefing someone said that 24hours is to optimistic for such distance.

Keep you posted (in case will find some wifi).
