I left home on Sun, 31.Aug, but got 'stopped' in front of the Gotthard tunnel for close to an hour :-(( Later the driving to Regello (between Florence and Arezzo) has been easy (being Sunday, just very little lorries).
After checking-in at Agriturismo i Millepini, I drove to the LZ for Massanera/ Regello, hoping to meet some local pilots - but no luck.

Mon, 01.9. The fcst called for quite some wind; which in the end had not been correct... and being the first day after the 'Ferragosto' (general summer holiday in Italy), nobody showed up for flying
I checked out the launches of Massanera and Montrago/ Praticino. Flying would have been possible, but there has been no way how I could have gotten my car back down from the mountain(s) :-(

Later I drove to San Vinceno a Torri, where Luciano (which I had met in 1978,while studing Italian in Florence for 2 month) had invited me for dinner together with his son.
Tue (2.9.) Heavy rain with thunder and lightning in the morning (causing even a power outage for about 30'). I drove to Norma (South of Rome). As I had hoped, the wx improved, but it remaind too windy for a flight here. Maybe tomorrow morning before driving to Gioia dei Marsi... where I'll be joining then the iCamp in the late afternoon.
