Where am I now?



More memories - possibly of more interest to readers than tonight's 5km 'Sizzler' race. It will be a sizzler!

In 2003 Sue and I enjoyed a trip to the Dolomites, during which our first digital camera took a few pictures, including this one featuring Don, Dave, Sue, Liz, Nick, Andrew and Catherine.

I think it was probably near Rifugio Fondo Savio, before some of us set off along the Bonacassa Way via ferrata, on 21 July.

Won't it be nice to return there one day?

The trip precedes this blog by over four years, but I did record events here, should anyone be interested.

Oh! To be there now. Well, not now, but maybe early September.
I haven't booked anything abroad this year. Covid seems to be getting out of hand again.

Precisely my thoughts BC. We are lucky to be able to go to Porthmadog more or less whenever we want to, and there is much to keep us occupied locally, so we're making the best of that. However, nothing in the UK can really match the Dolomitic experience portrayed by that image. After doing the Bonacassa VF we went to a cafe and watched Armstrong blow away his rivals in the crux stage of the Tour de France. We didn't realise he was a cheat back then.

Happy memories
This was the last time I was in the dolomites
The campsite staff remembered me from the previous visit - perhaps not too many people arrive on foot.
Also remember the 18+ hour delay at the airport going home
Have a stunning view of this holiday on our "always on" photoviewer - so am reminded of this trip quite often and visitors have commented on the view
Thanks for the reminder - would appreciate a copy if possible

Picture send, Dave, and I'll try to find time to process a few more from this trip.
