    Hi Mary/Andy another amazing trip you are both having to add to your travels. It brought back good memories for me as it took me back to being 20. We were on a skiing trip in Kitzbuhel everywhere looked so lovely covered in snow. Have to admit we never got off the nursery slopes. I have very fond memories of our time in Austria. I also met a guy called Wolfgang we kept in touch for a while.

    It is good to see you are both back in your happy place doing what you love doing. Lots of love Theresa xx

    1. Hi there….ow wow, that’s amazing you’ve been to Kitzbuhel. I said to Andy I would love to see it in snow, although in summertime it’s beautiful I can imagine winter time being even better! Love the sound of Wolfgang, what a name!! Yes, it’s definitely great to be back on the road as time of late has been so limited! Although one more year to go then the world is my oyster šŸ˜†….it’s in the planning already 😮 🫢

    Hi Mary keep on starting message the phone rings !!

    It was lovely to see pictures of Austria at this time of year. Guess it wasn’t quite as challenging as when you did GR20 perhaps different sort of challenges. A guy in our walking group 70 years old went off to do GR11 he had to cut his trip short as he tried to make a hot drink after putting his tent up in the dark and spilled hot water on his foot. Sheila his wife was relieved that he turned back as the whole family were concerned he had gone off on his own. They are quite experienced walkers climbers. I think he pushed himself on that particular day and was over tired.

    It was great you caught up with your friend was that the guy you met on the GR20.

    Lots of love Theresa xx

    1. Yes, I guess when you’re there, you always think of how it would look in a different season.

      The GR20 was a whole different level in terms of the endless hours of hiking for days on end with very little food and the conditions in the ‘campsites’ and I use that term very loosley cause as mentioned before we were mainly pitching our tents on boulders and on strange angles we had very little respite. This is a whole different ball game and a walk in the park in comparison lol.

      Shame for the guy you know having to cut his trip short – he will be gutted, albeit and annoyed he has done something ‘silly’ to impact so much on his trip!

      Yes, Mike was the Irish guy we passed on day one who we didn’t think would make it lol. And after getting to camp very late that night, he was for packing it all in. We however convinced him to keep going and from there on in he stayed with us the whole trip, setting off 2-3hours ahead of us in the mornings so we would catch him at the more ‘technical’ points and he had our help. It was so lovely to meet up with him and his family when we were clean, relaxed and able to eat and drink, but we suffered badly the next day and had to delay our travels, lol. X
