Flew to the Rotax 2023 Flyin at Wels Austria and made then extended into the Alps. A nine day trip about 1500 nautical miles and 13 hrs of flying. With folding Brompton bike, visited lots of lakes and beaches in great weather.

Learnt about SVFR departure from a French Class D airport. (600′ and 5km vis).

Rented a hangar when heavy hail and gusting 50 knots was forecast.

Did some single pilot mountain flying. See video of Zell am Zee.

Landed at one of the the most picturesque airfields in the world.
