Last summer six Swedish pilots drove 1200 miles to the northwest part of Bulgaria. We flew five days from two different flying sites to get to know the terrain and the air. Weather was on our side and we rigged five gliders at the ramp start near the town of Vratza. One of our wing was being repaired after unfortunately ground looping.
