Thank you, I will check these threads.
Hi Jean, welcome and your plan sounds fine.
The easiest way to do the Alp crossing VFR is to follow the published GAFOR routes. Skydemon depicts them on the map, together with the weather color code. So you can easily check whether the route is open or not.
You can also cross the Alps IFR below FL100 but you need to cross further down East, via Linz – Graz.
Over the next few days, I will do a final mailing to remind everyone of this forthcoming EuroGA meet-up.
The mailing will go only to people who have logged in within the past year. This is to reduce the chance of somebody reporting the email(s) as spam.
I think, given the weather we are getting now, a lot of people are going to be looking forward to this trip 
I for one am really looking forward to it
Here is one fresh from Piran :-)
Thinking about coming, but the only option could be with kids…
As I can see Portoroz looks like a better option than Piran in terms of beaches/ places for swimming?
Anyone going for a fly-in with kids, btw…?
The Hotel Fiesa is just a nice 20 minute beach walk from Piran and would be perfect for you and your kids as long as your gastronomical expectations are not high. It’s three star rating is accurate.
If you want to eat well, go to Piran, specifically “Ivo’s” and get a fresh, oven-baked gilthead…
I am very much looking forward to it, and to meeting some new people who didn’t make the previous ones and who will be there
That fish looks 10/10.
I’ve not decided but as I’m looking for a “mission” for the C182 (so far, I’ve only done the differences training and a lot of pratice circuits in it) and the first weekend of September is suddenly freeing up a bit in terms of other obligations, I’m very much considering coming from EDLP.
That would be only Portoroz – no time unfortunately for Brac (which I found lovely last year) and Greece.
