Bakuriani | June

The mountain north of Bakuriani provides interesting flying opportunities, although often the wind is too strong. Here is some afternoon soaring, at about six o'clock. The launch was very fast, and wind speeds were above 20 km/h. The soaring could have gone on for much longer.



Generally, we haven't been trying this site enough. It is 45 min. up from Bakuriani, which itself is good ways from Tbilisi. As a location, it requires an overnight stay, since you typically need appropriate rest before undertaking flying in such territory.
