flying in a Ju 52
03Jul10 17:31 Filed in: Family
On this Saturday my brothers Sam and Hannes had the chance to fly in a Junkers Ju 52. The JuAir is operating four Ju 52 airplanes in Dübendorf. But these flight are fully booked for a long time ahead (usually more than one year).
When Sam an me were searching for a gift to Hannes 50th birthday we discussed such a flight. But it took us quite a while to finally get in the air. Both Sam and me took some photos and put them on Flickr (Sam’s album, Ueli’s album).

SOM 2010 in Lamoura (F)

This years Swiss Relay Championship in orienteering was held in the Jura. We have been there the last time in 1994 for a five day o-event. Doing orienteering in this region is demanding in both aspects: map-reading and running. But this is exactly what I am enjoying.
The competition center was at the Village de Vacances de Lamoura shown on the far left side in this photo. I have taken a few more photos.

We have spend Whitsun holidays in Seefeld Tirol. Again we could enjoy a very comfortable stay at the Schönruh hotel.
And as for trainings (photos), well the region there looks similar to the Scandinavian terrain, so it is always a pleasure to do orienteering in these forests.
Together with Martina and Corsin we set the first training on Saturday.

visiting Thann (France)

on Saturday we travelled to Thann near Mulhouse in the Alsace. There we met Anne and Michèle the daughters of Charlie and Collette, friends of our parents over the years. This time it was Hannes who searched the Internet and found the address of Michèle. But it took a couple of month to fix a date for this reunion (more photos by Sam)
In the afternoon we walked up the hill to the Croix du Rangen. From there we had a beautiful sight to Thann and its surroundings.

swiss championship in night-orienteering, this year with a different modus: mass start!
and again with my brother Sam taking a few photos. I was glad to finally start at this competition too. There was a big traffic jam caused by an accident that more than doubles my driving time to the competition center. And since I didn’t know where the accident happened I was in doubt to arrive in time.
