UP Team Pilots on bivouac tour with KANGRI X / Part 1

We are delighted that UP team pilots Benno Schmidt & Max Lorenz have once again set off on a bivouac tour this year. This time with the new KANGRI X (EN/LTF B), which is characterized by its low weight and small pack size, combined with the best cross-country flying qualities for such adventures. They started in Annecy, France - wonder if they got far? The weather was mixed, but the two of them didn't let that stop them! Fortunately, because the tour was a complete success despite a few obstacles in the form of rain. You can read Benno's travel report here and follow him on Instagram via schmidtbenno.
