July 2009

Dolomites - Having had another wonderful two weeks in the Dolomites this year, I am planning a club trip next year.  We will go w/e 27/28th June and return w/e 11/12th July. By then much of the snow has gone, the lifts are mainly open, and the crowds have not yet arrived. I feel I now have quite a lot of knowledge of the area, and so can be helpful.  I will aim at coming to a pub evening in the Autumn, to show slides etc and discuss possibilities. We will hire car(s), and camp/use refuges/ bivis for accommodation. It can be a holiday for climbers, walkers, and Via Ferrata fans.Flying is unfortunately still by far the cheapest way of getting there. With Good Wishes, Karenza-Monica
