Joined the late day paragliders for some ridge soaring and light thermalling in the town of Kossen on "Action Mountain." Funny how some names sound goofy in a different culture. One other HG pilot joined me at launch watching the dozens of PG's floating around. I was the misfit in the air insisting on circles rather then big passes on the center of the thermals. A little of that here and there and I was eventually high enough above the rest that it didn't matter. I could use my performance to comfortably drift over the back to grab some lee side luvin. I took a late flight here to test a new side wire length and evaluate how much (if any) high siding they added. Conclusion: not much if any....I'll take em! I'm not one for PDA (public displays of affection) but I love my new glider!
Kossen is one of the biggest PG parties I have ever seen. Guys were all over the ridge and packed in the LZ/Landing Field Bar. A real open air bar complete with historic Anotov Airplane in the front yard. Check this sucker out! I have never seen one before but yet in one day I saw two!

Kevin, sounds like you are having a great time. While in Kossen, make sure you hook up with Toni Ramuf and his wife Jennie. Toni flies an ATOS and lives 3 miles from the mountain. Just ask around town, everyone knows him.
