It won't be anything very impressive - we like quiet mountain resorts in off-season for skiers! The Austrians are very matter of fact when it comes to describing hiking trails and so on; in 2012, for example, we went up the Rosannaschlucht trail, near St Anton in Arlberg, which was described as "an excellent family walk - moderate climbs and wonderful views" - hmmm. It was a wonderful walk, but there were some hefty climbs (in very thin air), at one point we had to creep between the roots of a fallen tree and at another we were about 1200 feet above a river gorge, with only markers to stop my varifocals pitching me into the void. Nothing actually dangerous of course, but it would have to be a fit family to enjoy this! Thus we always try to tune up a bit before we go! We may get a walk in the Pentlands in a week or so, to further the cause.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-53663168417292513652016-08-01T08:01:44.879+01:002016-08-01T08:01:44.879+01:00Nice to see your siege town for real - will you be...Nice to see your siege town for real - will you be adding a scale model of Conway castle?Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-29334096315863871232016-08-01T06:04:05.946+01:002016-08-01T06:04:05.946+01:00Great to see your travel photos!
