Needless to say anything

I woke up with a wish of making a 100km in January but a quick look at weather report showed that it is not happening today. We went on take off, knowing that gradient is more like spring like and it should go high, but strong NW was predicted which brings a lot of turbulence.
Jellyfishes where already trying to catch their canopies when we rigged the gliders up.
Bomb up to 2200m, with some scary air in the beginning and after with fat thermal that was forcing me out to the sea. No long distances, but just freezing flight, for me it stopped at 2200m as I flew towards Gorica, Alan and Davide where up to 3000m crying for their fingers at landing :) Needless to say anything, who ever knows the area will understand all of it from the picture :D

Not so much really at 2000 :) At 3000 they said it was -25 ;)

OMG! I should say they're the real maniacs! :-)))
And what was the climb rate?
I suppose it was good enough to climb up to the 3000 m level in a short time. Or no?

You should have work your way up, but it was possible. Paraglider pilot who made the biggest height was at 3400m ;)
