I've come Back.....h o m e ?

I've got a whole world to tell you about :)

Three months of non-stop Hang Gliding trip: Kazakhstan, Altay, Crimea, Caucuses. Tons of impressions, feelings...
BUT, from the beginning:
On 10-th of July I took my tent, sleeping bag, few reserve socks and a harness, stuffed my glider into a train and began my joinery... It didn't feel like reality - to get 4000km far from home by train, to get
ALTAY. There the Russian Open Championship where going to be held.
Kurai.... mmm....
Amazing places, crazy weather. It was harder to land, than to fly away. Just like a simple walking if you don't mind about thunderstorms around and +7/-9 thermal-shaking ):)p During the flight I struck my head with a downtube twice!
Otherwise, with my hands down, I made 79km task.
I was
4980 meters over the see-level! And 4200-4500m was a normal altitude for a day.
aaaand... here are some photos:











And nearly NO human beings around in the mountains, except rare locals, in poor wooden villages..
