Ciao e bentornati in Italia per la seconda parte della nostra avventura nelle Dolomiti! For this half of the trip, we had based ourselves in Santa Maddalena in Val di Funes. Once again, thanks to Beth leaving me unsupervised to pick the accommodation, we were based on the outskirts of the village, aContinue reading “Puez-Odel Nature Park, Adolf Munkel Trail – 5.5 miles”

Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles
Buongiorno, ciao, salve! Vi scriviamo dal Nord Italia, più precisamente dalle splendide Dolomiti, nelle Alpi. È un’area molto vasta da visitare in una sola settimana, quindi abbiamo deciso di soggiornare in due zone diverse: prima, la cittadina di Dobbiaco, in Val Pusteria, appena a sud del confine austriaco. Il primo giorno è stato dedicatoContinue reading “Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles”

Ben Nevis (Scotland) – 10 miles
For months, we joked about the prospect of climbing up to Britain’s highest peak. For weeks, we scoffed at the thought of ourselves navigating the mountain passes as we puffed through the pretty fields of East Sussex. Even days before, it remained a mere blot on the distant horizon, barely seeming real. And yet,Continue reading “Ben Nevis (Scotland) – 10 miles”
