We’ve had a busy day. I rose early and collected croissants and put the washing on. Then we ate breakfast, washed up and got ready to go hiking before hanging the washing out. We started the hike by walking down into Potes from the campsite. Then we contoured around the hillside and followed a neighbouring... Continue Reading →
What an awful night! I woke wanting the toilet. I was surprised I’d not heard so many people coming to bed. I must have been tired. There was no curtain at the window and from the light on the hillside I thought morning must be near. As soon as someone else got up to go... Continue Reading →
The alarm went off at 6.25 and we were soon ready to leave, having prepared the night before. The early buses don’t stop at the Wankbahn cable car station, next to the camper van site, so we walked down the road to the next bus stop. We were very early and waited… and waited… and...

Having a had a fairly early night after watching a film we made an early start today. Instead of taking 2 buses, we decided to drive across town to the Kreuzeck cable car. Today’s walk was relatively easy, with only about 200m of ascent, the rest being downhill through Hollentalklamm, or Hell Valley Gorge. It... Continue Reading →
Ok… Who sniggered? Or is it just me and John that find the name of this mountain amusing? I had an awful night’s sleep with so many hot flushes that I felt as though I was lying in a puddle all night! At 7 we decided we might as well get up and make an... Continue Reading →
I was so tired after yesterday’s exertions that I slept until 9 o'clock. The weather was lovely so we decided to go for a walk, rather than moving on to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, our next stopover. However, I insisted that it had to be a relatively easy walk. We took the chair lift up the mountains on... Continue Reading →
Today was tough. The book said 6 hours but, after we got back, I worked out that was just for the outward leg! Needless to say, I am shattered. At one point I didn’t think I’d make it to the top but I did, so I’m pleased 🙂 We got up later than we should... Continue Reading →
It’s still quite cool today. I’m actually enjoying it. The weather was perfect for walking; I haven’t had to smother myself in sun protection lotion; after my shower I have stayed clean and non sweaty; and I am enjoying wearing my jeans for the first time since we left home 🙂 Anyway, I digress… Today,...

Fuelled by last night’s rather large pizza we set off early to make our ascent of Punta Pousett. It was a little cloudy to start with but the clouds soon disappeared and by 8.30 it was hot and sticky in the forest. We were glad to reach open meadows where there was a bit of... Continue Reading →
Another stunning walk with all the attributes of yesterdays’s on a much grander scale. We set off early knowing this walk would take about 7 and a half hours and it was going to be another hot day. The ascent was only partially shaded but I was quite pleased that I didn’t struggle too much... Continue Reading →
