I recently went on my holidays to Lake
Garda in Italy, 10 days of glorious scenery, good food and sunny
weather, during this holiday we went on day trips to Venice and
Verona, I also went on a days walking organised by the Alpine
Group of Limone
This days walk was to the mountain refuge
"Bonaventura Segala" at 1215 metres. after a rest and
refreshments at the hut a small party of us climbed to the summit
of Monte Carone 1621 metres, well worth climbing, spectacular
views from the summit.
This was my first experience of walking in
the Dolomites, although this area was relatively low compared
with some of the snow capped peaks that I could see to the north,
nevertheless it was a wonderful experience, the whole day was
nearly 10 hours which obviously included many rest stops, one
thing that was different from my walks in Britain was the fact
that most of the ascent was through woodland and it was only the
ascent up one rock face which had steps and safety rope and the
final 100 metres that you could see the surrounding mountains
