Italy -'H&F' day 3: WIND!! > sightseeing: Campo Imperatore, Santo Stefano

Tuesday: unfortunately too windy at all sites nearby; the only place that might have been flyable was Norma, but 2.5hrs drive one-way :-(( So it was decided to do some sightseeing and hopefully find a place to ground handle (or even fly).

We drove via Ofena (leaving my car at the LZ for Capo da Serra); but no way that we could make a flight here! After a coffe stop at Castel Monte we continued to Campo Imperatore. Here Michael has been the only one to 'play' for a few moments with a glider in the strong and gusty wind...

We then continued to Santo Stefano, a small village at the outer edge of Campo Imperatore, where reconstruction after the last earthquake is still going on.

On the way back via Rocca Calascio (strong tailwind on launch), we picked up my car and returned to Pescasseroli.
