Three tether rope system. Classic tethered training flight. Into wind the forward speed is slow. The Instructor shadows the pitch control and can take-over if things start to go wrong! Side ropes can progressively allow gentle turns to be made.
Great fun flying.

The aim of the GreenFjord project is to explore the socio-cultural and environmental interactions by focusing our research on two different fjord systems: a marine and a terrestrial terminating glacier. Our efforts are organized around six clusters: cryosphere, land, ocean, atmosphere, biodiversity and human. It's an SPI flagship project about the understanding of fjord with glacier ending in the water VS fjord without glacier ending in the fjord. More details: greenfjord-project.ch/

This is a bird at our bird feeder when I was playing around with doing bird shots while the camera was tethered to my computer.
The light was just about perfect on Saturday... It was such a shame that it was too windy for take off. Seems the bank could go green by having their execs blow hot air into the balloon instead if that glorified bunsen burner.
