Mikolaj Kokot | Day 7 – Landings Day 6 and Day 7

Day 6 – Mikolaj Kocot

Day 6 started slowly. We decided to wake up later than usual as we slept just below a high take off – Peña Montañesa. We got up there still far too early to fly, but that way we could escape the s…

Kocot team – Coming back to day 3

Mikolaj Kocot – First day

First day of X-Pyr is behind us. The weather came out much better than forecasted and overall I’m super happy to reach the daily goal – Saint-Etienne Over 70km of the slowest terrain is b…
