It rained again, so we set off back down the mountain, and back to the car.
We had planned for this eventuality .. I had always wanted to go to the dolomites, and they were just over the border, there was a lot of rock climbing, and to back this up I had got a new book juts published - scrambles in the dolomites, which listed a number of via ferrata routes and we were eager to see how they went.
We headed towards Cortina, and then cut over to Canazei. As we descended from one of the passes down to the valley we overtook a van, which was not happy, and for some reason we were chased down into town.. We gave them the slip as we jumped a light and turn into the campsite in the middle of town by the river..
keeping an eye out for the van we settled in for the night.
Welcome to my world of days out. This diary of stories is recorded for my own record - recollections that I cannot guarantee are complete or even if things have been remembered incorrectly. I have added some graphs to the end at the page to show the increase in distances attained as I got fitter and more ambitious now regular weekly walking is more feasible.
