Hike and fly fever has been spreading for several years now. Thanks to ever lighter materials, it is also possible for the untrained, à la Chrigel Maurer. One person who is trying to bring hike and fly closer to every man or woman is Peter Waldner, whether by organising hike and fly competitions, providing a competition app or his hike and fly YouTube channel. In this interview, he explains why he still enjoys the peace and quiet of a hike and fly away from the hustle and bustle and what makes this type of sport so fascinating for him.

Nora Martiny and Benjamin Lutze must have thought about this and much more, and their answer: the website we-measure.io.

But it's not just his stories of cross-country flying, often from Roldanillo or Bassano, that he has to tell, there are also other aspects of his flying life that make him an interesting interview partner.

Where can you fly 100 or even 200 XC kilometres? What should I bear in mind? What equipment should you have with you? What skills should you have to fly such distances? How can I plan routes? What tools will help me to find the next thermal in flight? Questions upon questions, which I get to the bottom of in an interview with Ulrich Scheller, an experienced cross-country pilot.
