As 2022 comes to an end we recap our season.
Well, what can we say as usual 2022 was a wild ride.
The weather was tricky but also provided for some very beautiful views and a start of the season which looked almost magical
The active season is making place for the winter months but despite the crazy world we have been living in, this year was still full of flying, new frinds and new and old horizons to fly to.
... we added more flying friends to our flock. Both beginners courses were filled up with new faces from all around the world, united in the desire to fly.
Our students from France, USA, Bulgaria, UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Sweden made June very colorfull and fun for everyone and of course full of flying!
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.
On 1-st of March along with the Bulgarian celebration of "Baba Marta" came the time of the first beginners courses for the season.
March came ith the typical weather style of a womens mood (in Bulgaria March is called the women month due to the drastic swings in the weather :) , the first beginners course started with windy conditions which later in the week turned into perfect flyable weather for beginners training.
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!
October - a festival of colors and warmth.
Autumn sets in and with it the forest in the mountain above Sopot explodes with colors yet again.
Not much time to look at them tough because we're letting our big flocks of beginner birds enjoy them instead.
June has gone by an while the world is still going mad about the Covid19, our new students got the super contaigious "flying virus".
The symptoms of the "Flying Virus" include:
- Lack of fear from heights
- Constant urge to look at forecasts
- Uncontrolable desire to fly
- Persistent desire for climbing hills and mountains and flying off them.
Autumn came with it's most beautiful colors and with it the "Gypsy summer" days began!
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.
The Spring showers started watering the valley and everything bloomed:
