8 SKY SAILOR September | October 2022 The beautiful mountain town of Krushevo (1350m) played host to adventure seekers from far and wide. The town is like stepping back in time, with giant green watermelons sold directly from farm lorries on the street corners, dogs sleeping in the shade and owners of the bazaar style shops sit outside sipping coffee. Pilots enjoyed seven stunning days flying from 15 to 21 July, including untried routes off the task board and corridor tasks to Greece. Whatever your preferences, from straight lines to triangles, there was something for everyone. There were days when pilots skimmed into goal with 2m to spare, others when they arrived, skied out, with 2000m altitude. The fields below Krushevo, and far below the pilots, are a patchwork of smiling sun flowers, tall green sweet corn and tobacco plants. From the sky, the most picturesque task was undoubtedly task six, as Baba Mountain came into view, and lakes Ohrid and Prespa stretched out below the pilots. Following these two successful PWC events, the top 15 overall, top three ladies and task winners of fully valid tasks qualify for the Super Final, to be held in Mexico in December this year.
