back from a 3 day trip in the italien national parc “val grande”. i hired Tim Shaw from www.piemont-trekking.de as my guide, so i didn’t have to take the four main routes. that means we’ve been all 3 days in the woods and on the mountains or passes, sometimes on old, unknown trails or just a trail. that meant also more hiking then riding, with a backpack on the back with all the gear for the 3 days: food, sleeping bag etc. hard piece of work, especially the uphills also with the uni on the back. also downhill riding, when it was possible was a new experience with the heavy backpack. but the parc and the nature were just great! i’ll come back for sure!
