IT, SI -12: Cornizzolo

On my way back home I stopped at the only place I had found, which looked flyable: Monte Cornizzolo near Leggo/ Lago di Como.

Unfortunately the sky looked as clear and blue only in the morning... Arriving at the LZ in Suello and hoping to find a shuttle, extremely few pilots have been there. A local tandem pilot said that it would be unflyable as there was north wind. Well I could see some clouds moving south - but only slowly.
And once in a while some pilots also took off. Finally at 1330 a shuttle drove up with the waiting 7 pilots. By that time the sky was almost completely covered and I made just a sledder. Though I have to admit that by observing the sky more closely and waiting maybe 20 more minutes on launch, a longer flight probably would have been possible as the sun was coming through a bit more.
I then went up for a second flight, but this time no more 'blue holes' in sight, which would have been worth waiting for...

But all in all it has been a very successful trip: flying on most days, 2 new sites, meeting many old friends, excellent food,getting a new glider  :-))
