Going for a walk

[Freelander Sporrano]

The day started well after a night with rain. (We didn't get any during the walk at all.

The objective for the walk was Cellputten which is a memorial for hte resistance groups who lived and fought in the hills and woods during the occupation.

It's a round trip of 11 Km's .From 250 metres above sea level you have to climb to around 700 before descending to 660 meters to the memorial.

The track starts on gravel tracks but soon develops into a twisted single track which is partial flooded. So you walk in mud like porridge or wet slippery stones

Now to the photos

The porridge

The local Civil defence were out in force offering people lifts up the first part of the course which consists of gravel track

On the way down we stopped to have a look at what remains of some of the hidding places today.

A great day was had by all and even the sun came out.

It was nice to get home and get a shower after walking though all that porridge

Ps I hope you enjoy the pictures there more to come I just haven't got that far as yet
