Tuesday 19.07.05
    A night wild storm with a gale ran almost half of campsite inhabitants out of their ruining tents into their cars at midnight and also the weather beaten pilots admit in the morning they were a bit frightened last night. A colour of the sky is splendidly blue, the air is clear and liquid and a temperature dropped under 20°C finally. Organizers apprise on a notice board very strong thermal activity, sadly the northwest wind about 8m/s blows over the ridge and there are some doubts about the possibility of declaring a safe task today. A decision is postponed for now but at noon the whole racing field is boiling in the bright sun at the south taking off zone under the top of Monte Cornizzolo.

 A view from the taking off point

    "Briefing, briefing!" a loud griding billions of cickets and various grasshoppers is interrupted for a moment by a shout of the competition director at half past two and the task, which is declared speedily, is 50km long. It spans four turning points not far from the taking of area and a goal is located on the lading field beside headquarters in Suello village, at the same point as yesterday.

    In view of the noticeable northwest wind is task cancelled half an hour later and most of pilots is applausing. The bravest pilots can make free flights now. The others are welcome at a party in Lecco at eight.
