Bivacco Pocchiola Meneghello at 2440m. Almost like the photo I saw at Rifugio Valgravio last year. When I saw the photo I was hooked and couldn't get the idea out of my head to go there. Maurizio planned our tour accordingly and at the second try we finally got there. The photo is - at least in part - more beautiful than realitiy. The lake and surroundings are stunning and so is the position of the bivak. But on the other side, out of sight of the viewer of the photo, are loads of abandoned buildings and structures needed while building the damm. A little depressing. And the bivacco is very damp inside, I suffered a lot of cold again.
Today Madeira. Earlier this year, the Isle of Man, Bornholm. Long after my months of serious walking in the Alps. So different, in every aspect. But I want to walk. I will not give up.
