ALRS 2013

The second part of the German long weekend (after a MTB trip) was my first attendance for a few years at the ALRS rocketry launch event, not far from Neuchatel, Switzerland.

Only really flew a few small rockets (saucer and qubit, etc.), although there were a decent number of HPR flights. I really must sort out my HPR kit and rockets again, and start flying them more.



Flight Log:
  • Black Brant (D12-7)
  • 7" Saucer (D12-0)

MTB Switzerland

Due to a long weekend in Germany, I combined a quick MTB trip with the ALRS rocketry event in Switzerland.

On the Friday, I did one of the published MTB riding loops, in the Swiss Jura, starting and ending in Saignelégier, not too far from Neuchatel.

Although it was in the hills, it is pretty much up on a plateau, and reasonably easy ride. Mostly on road, track, and farm fields. Total distance was only about 43km, and a GPS track is on my Endomondo log.
