18th Falzarego pass - still
So unsure of what to do today we headed out to
Averau with VF kit. We did the very short VF (2b) then walked to the top at
2649m. We took pictures at the top and could have made a bit of cash on the
side from the number of pictures we took for others (it was pretty busy). On
our way back down we met a Polish guy who I thought was going to have a heart
attack. He was young-ish but had got himself very anxious about walking back
down the scree and VF. He asked to join us and followed us down, stopping on
route to have fresh tea with an Israeli couple we had met earlier. All sitting
chatting in English (I ask myself is there any point of learning another
language?) Lawr led the way on the short but slightly tricky VF and the Polish
guy was very happy to be back on the path!
We carried on away from the main route to the north east side of Averau
and walked back over Croda Negra, 2518m where we came across more WW1 remnants
including complex trenches. On the evening wander we chatted to a group on
Spaniards who had travelled 2,500km with 5 kids to get here. This was a truly international day.
Note – Lawr frustrated with guide book so thinking of writing his own. I think it’s just an excuse to extend the trip….I’m up for that)
Highs – good walk, fresh tea on hill, good sleep,
water.
Lows – no one seems to want to park beside us..! (no
other uk vans in area)Note – Lawr frustrated with guide book so thinking of writing his own. I think it’s just an excuse to extend the trip….I’m up for that)
