Minirolls Musings

Tres Cime De Lavaredo

This morning we were not going to be denied our target climb. We bounded out of bed early like postmen on speed. Gobbled up some scrambled eggs on toast, and were out of the house before 0715.

Then we had to scrape ice off the car windshield for 10 mins with a credit card…

We are off to another Via Ferrata today on Tres Cime De Lavaredo. We did not need to be super energetic this morning because we aren’t catching a cable car. A leisurely breakfast of spicy beans n eggs by Scott set us up nicely. The nice drive thru Cortina and up into the mountains was going great, but when we arrived at the road to the pass, it was shut!

The Day I Decided To Adopt ELRS

Rest day 2 has arrived and my body is telling me I’m significantly older than my mind believes me to be.

Accidental Ice Climbing

After our super relaxing (ahem) rest day, we were back on the Via Ferrata at Brigata Tridentina. Setting off early, we had an hour of hair pin bends followed by a 10 mins walk-in to the crag – epic adventurer’s we are…

Propa Pizza and The Wrong Way Walk

Today is a rest day. After blasting out the gate straight up an all day Via Ferrata, today we were a bit sore and tired. So we decided to go for a short 5 hour walk aiming for a lake…

Via Ferrata – Col dei Bos

Embracing the mediterranean, we had a simple breakfast of boiled eggs, tomatoes and salami with coffee before heading out to our first Via Ferrata of the holiday.

Delayed Flights and Rental Car Fights

Beer at 3am?

Sure why not, we are on holiday!

Aimi’s 3 Peaks Challenge

This trip is combined with Aimi tackling the infamous 3 Peaks Challenge. Shes also taking on doing it within 24 hours, a massive personal challenge that shes been training for for some time.

Shes been ramping up the walk distances, work outs and running each day throughout the summer to be ready for it. She has some nerves about how hard is going to be. And yes it is going to be hard but I know she’s determined, fit and as long as she doesn’t throw a hissy fit like she did on Ben Lomond last weekend, she will be fine!

Wedding Dress Deliberations

Our Celebrant, Ashton, made a comment to us that the registrar’s office would be “open to accept documents in February…” which caught us off guard.

February is just the other side of Christmas…

And that’s only a few months away…

Suddenly it was clear we needed to start organising stuff!

Ben Lomond Bitching

Aimi is up to Glasgow visiting me at work for the first time… it only took a year to get her up here. The main attraction wasn’t spending time with me, or visiting a new city, or seeing what I’m working on. It was to climb Ben Lomond, which I’ve proclaimed widely is my favourite mountain walk in the UK to date.

This is also the last big walk that Aimi is allowed to do before the 3 Peaks Challenge she is doing next weekend. Shes in top condition, worked hard and knows the mountains, so this one shouldn’t be an issue right?
