We drove up to the hang glider launch at Mount Grappa, but I wasn't feeling
right about flying, so we just waited around until Mathias and Heinz launched.
The cloud base was low but there were vast amounts of cu's out in the flats
which were very enticing. A couple of paraglider pilots had ventured out there
and it was great to see them leave the hill side.

The winds were just right on launch and we had just seen a pilot flying a Bautek
Twister get back up from almost landing at the
LZ. He was disappearing behind a cloud when the two pilots took off.

Belinda and I drove down the switchback and by the time we got down to the
bottom and to the LZ Heinz and Mathias were low above the LZ and planning to
land. Looking back at the hill side we could see the cu-nimb activity behind it
and the towering cu's over it. The whole ridgeline had dark clouds above it. 
I guess it was the right feeling not to fly.

After meeting Franco Rinaldi for lunch at the restaurant at the LZ we all
headed from Feltre for the competition this weekend. The cu-nimb exploded and
there was rain once we got by the Brenta river in the canyon north of Bassano
del Grappa.

The competition starts tomorrow on Saturday. Franco says that seven years ago
this competition was as big at the Montegrappa competition with 100 pilots. Then
the paraglider and hang glider pilots spilt.
