In the fist week of May, Skynomad along with the Bulgarian National Aero Club and the Bulgarian Paragliding Commision organized the fist competition for the season.
"PG spring XC meeting".
The friendlty competition had the aim to bring together bulgarian and foreign pilots for a warm-up session of competition tasks arround the Sopot valley.
The competition was succcesfull despite the complexety of the weather conditions.
November arrived but it seemed the "gypsy summer" is not planing to leave.
Warm days and beautiful skies acommpanied our last small batch of beginner students on their path of learning how to fly!
Dear friends,
Skynomad Team fully realizes the seriousnes of the COVID-19 situation all arround the world and hopes for a quicker and better resolution of theese difficult times for all of us.
However many of you know that the only stronger virus than the corona virus is the flying virus - a "sickness" that yet has to be cured!
Skynomad would like to inform all our friends that our activities are running uninterupted !
June brought us some interesting weather.
Form the occasional June storms to the mountain waves and the magic lift soaring for all the happy students.
Spring has sprung!
And just like the birds in the nests, our first beginners students hatched out, shook off the leftover eggshells and quickly took to the skies.
Spring has sprung in the Northern hemisphere.
In the mean time in the land down under Ivelin Kalushkov sets another Bulgarian national record of speed over 300 km FAI traingle in 15 and 18 m class.
It seemed that the summer didn't wanted to end this year.
October provided the perfect conditions for training and amazingly even samall cross country flying for the eager flocks of new birds that joined us in the beginners and intermediate courses.
More than 20 students took to the skies and discovered the beautiful new world of paragliding.
July came with warm weather and some more thunderstorms.
However we managed to complete 2 XC Training and 2 XC Guiding weeks and to help our friends reach new horizons while feeling more comfortable with thermals.
The XC training consisted of thermal by thermal guidance by our instructors plus briefing and debriefing via tracklog analysys of everyone participating - one of the best ways of learning is trough your own mistakes.
Despite the uncooperative weather we've managed again to fill up the month with lots of flyign and smiling faces.
7 more young birds took to the skies with the last Beginners course for the Spring season and lots of happy faces finished the 2 Intermediate courses in the beginning of the month.
April left us with some really hot days and fair weather.
May was expected to be rainy but prooved to be quite pleasent despite the bad forecasts.
10 new beginners took to the skies and made us all very proud with their quick progress:
