The first flying day was blown out so we went on a tourist drive to Castelluccio. Stupidly we did not take our gliders. The German team did, found it quite flyable and got to 13,000ft in wave. The Castellucio valley is like nothing else I have seen. The floor of the valley, at 4000ft, is dead flat and encircled by beautiful flyable hills.It seems to have its own weather. Wildflowers give the valley patches of vivid colour.
In the evening free food and wine was put on by a recently renovated wedding reception location. Stunning.
