Description
In the summer of 2004 we went climbing with Dimitri in the Valle Garrafano in the Apuane Alps, a limestone area famous for its Carrara marble. Dimitri had been a tenant of ours in Cambridge when he had a sabbatical working in the University Library.
We returned the following summer and were whisked off again to the rocky valleys of Italy's far northwest. We climbed in the Valle Maira and Valle Gesso in the Maritime Alps, Then we drove further north to the Valle dell'Orco in the Graian Alps near the Parco Gran Paradiso. The rock was superb and we did some great routes following our 'Pied Piper' Dimitri.

This book in a series of travel journals to many different parts of the world. Over the years we have kept journals of our adventures. In part we kept them for our grand-children, to inspire them to travel and appreciate the beauty of our world and its people. We also wrote them to keep track and make sense of what we'd done. The accounts contain conversations with people we met and descriptions of their everyday lives as well as accounts of our trips. See www.leveretcroft.com
