    "You have left all your clothes at home," the SMS message from Slovakia reaches a mobile phone near Salzburg and Peter Vrabec just realizes he'll have to wear only one shorts, one T-shirt and sandals next nine days. Four passengers inside a white Audi, which is stuffed up to its roof of tomatoes and tins of Red Bull, rushes at 140 kilometers per hour towards the west. A sporadic zig-zag flash cuts through the darkness with a grumble and a rain begins to fall.

    It takes a bit more than half an hour to drive from Milan towards the north to the foot of Monte Cornizzolo and the extremely hot weather reigns in Suello village on the west side of Lecco. This is completely idenical as the first day of the third competition in Serbian Sicevo. There is no possibility to shelter in any shadow on the zone for free camping next to the landing point and the outside thermometer points 35°C in a shadow in the afternoon.

    The first coloured paragliders make training flights from the top of Monte Cornizzolo at a height of 1240 meters above sea level at two o'clock in the afternoon and a registration of pilots is postponed to 6 p.m. when an air condition inside the room is functional at last..
