Nordic Championships 2013, Skive, Denmark

No posts about World championships in Oripää this year. No time to do that. Not at all... So, let's move directly to Nordics in Skive, Denmark. 

I was invited here as a judge by Jan Maxen. I have been in Denmark about gazillion years ago, when I was a little kid, and I have never judged in the Nordics, so it was wasy to say yes. Actually, I was quite honoured.  

On wednesday morning I arrived to Copenhagen. I had few hours time before my ride to Skive starts so I did some touristing around Copenhagen. Afternoon I met Daniel A. from Sweden and we hopped in a car with Contest Director Søren Dolriis who drove us to Skive. After hanging out at the airfield for a while, it was rather late and we head to the hotel. It is really nice place, a big old building with clean rooms and a lot of stairs. 

Yesterday morning we drove to the airfield and had a briefing. Then after some waiting, we started the contest after opening ceremonies.

The President of Danish aviation accosiation kept a nice speech before declaning the contest open.
