The forecast was mixed, surprisingly we climbed every day.
The tops were in cloud except on the last day, but we only intended to climb low down, the highest cliff we climbed on was at 2,000m.
We climbed on a few cliffs in Italy and one in Switzerland.
There were a few ‘issues’:
The day before we left Cynthia cut her index finger with a kitchen knife and needed four stitches.
We couldn’t get the hire car I had paid for because there was a problem with my credit card, so we got a smart car from another crowd.
First day at Novate Mezzola a van coming towards us lost a wheel. I braked hard (fortunately the car behind was not close, they were lost and had asked to follow us!) and the wheel went into the ditch.
Two nights later we got food poisoning, but we managed to do a few climbs in the afternoon.
A week after returning I had a confrontation with a stag.
