Flight Challenge Cup Gliding 2018 08.04. - 19.04.2018 Prievidza - Slovakia
Archiv
As there is not a flyable weather today, I'm sending some tips to relax in the surrounding area. Slovakia is known for a great amount of thermal and healing mineral springs. That's why it's really enough to choose from!
Spa Bojnice, Spa Rajecke Teplice, Spa & Aquapark Turčianske teplice, Spa Sklenne Teplice, or waterworld Vyhne. I found that the Bojnice Castle Museum is closed today, but also a trip to Uhrovec castle ruins, castle ruins at Oponicie or visit to the historical center of Banská Štiavnica is nice idea. For the golf fans there is a nice golf course in Sebedrazie or another option is GolfPark Rajec.
After a busy day, some snacks and drinks may be fine. You can taste the home-made beer at "Pánsky pivovar" Bojnice, great meat specialties in the Greek Bistro "u Nika", or the Slovak specialties at Koliba Pacho. Alternatively, choose something according to "your own nose" there are a lot to choose from!
We wish you a nice day!
At the briefing, despite the fact that yesterday's discipline was not valid, we awarded "heroes of the day". It means racers, who despite the difficult conditions, managed the whole track. The best performance in the club class was given by Adam Wooley and in 15m class by Victor Alex Pop. The discipline could not be valid, since in the club class only 8 out of 45 airborne gliders flown more 100km. In the 15m class it was just two racers.
Good morning! The weather will not allow us to start a competitive discipline today. We do not build the grid. But towing planes will be available if anyone wants to have a training flight. More info at the breafing at 10:00
