1-3 October Saint Andre les Alpes

As conditions became windy and wet in the Northern Alps, I headed south to try to catch some late season conditions. Unfortunately strong winds in St André prevailed so we headed off to St Vincent les Forts on the Tuesday 2nd.

 There had been snow with the recent rain storm on the Monday and autumn temperatures had kicked in, big time. With a low 6°C we headed off towards St Vincent les Forts in search of some better conditions. Snow capped mountains followed us on our journey. Autumn is here.

But regardless of the temperatures, manned with hand warmers and 5 layers of clothing, at this time of the year anything is good enough to get my IP6 out of the bag. Still loving it and waiting for some pictures from someone...anyone....to prove it!
If you have any photos of me flying/launching my Niviuk Icepeak6, please send them. Thanks :-)
