20th Falzarego – still
Note – Snake attack on path! After cycle a short jog was livened up by a huge black snake sunning itself on the path we were running on. I slowed and it just curled up and pointed it’s not inconsiderable head towards us. Lawr stood his ground and the snake backed off. Lawrence then jogged at the back to make sure the snake didn’t follow!
So we woke prepared for another rock adventure only
to find overnight rain and heavy fog! Extra kip ya beauty! Then a cycle day! We
started with 10mls fast miles all downhill to Cortina (1200m). Which unlike
it’s its namesake produced by Ford is complex and posh! So we got out of there
quickly! And wound our way up Passo Tre Croci at 1805m. We had a water stop at beautiful Lago Di
Misurina. The road back to Cortina was claggy, surrounded by pines into a head
wind and undulating just like home! Then we faced the 10mls back up to Passo
Falzarego and Myfanwy! Who had attracted
another camper! We soon spoilt that and
as usual were on our own! Weather become like home so plans altering.
Highs – Extra kip (Lawr), peanut butter sandwich at
Cortina airstrip.
Lows – Extra kip (Wendy), Sore legs after cycle, unusual
bruises due to climbing!Note – Snake attack on path! After cycle a short jog was livened up by a huge black snake sunning itself on the path we were running on.

It is such a beautiful place. We climbed the Marmolada while we were there - paid for a guide as it was honeymoon and we wanted to do something special. Was great. The trenches are mind boggling. Did you lose your bobble or your bottle? LOL! I quite like bobble... sounds gentler! A wee wobble of nerves rather than completely bricking it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteyes Marmolada next time! It's such a great place as i know you know!! Bobble losing is apparently good for you as long as it doesn't stop you from doing the activity :) see you soon...
