Almost a family again

After waiting for 6 hours at Bassano Train Station for Mark, Georgia and Angela, Greta and I had some friends. After some delayed flights and non functioning cell phones we eventually met up after a day waiting by the beautiful Bassano train station (not).
We headed up to Asiago and Cesuna where our accomodation is. We are staying at a place called La Pineta, right in the centre of a whole heap of training maps. The terrain is very rocky, the maps don't seem to have much rock but that's only becuase there is too much to map. The area also has lots of old trenches and cemeteries from WW1.
After some adventures around Gallio and Asiago with just the 5 of us we spent yesterday waiting for the arrival of the rest of the family.

Andrew, Kate, Rach and I arrived in Venice airport after a wicked flight flying over the dolomites, making us very excited to finally be in italy after what seemed like non-stop travelling! Norm, Scott, Toby and Jourdan soon arrived too and we all got in the van and started our venture up to Cesuna. After driving around about 15 hairpin corners and through many small italian mountian towns, we finally made it to Cesuna and were greeted by the rest of the team!

This morning we are heading out training onto a map right next to the accomodation. The first chance for all of the recent arrivals to try out the white rocks and white pebble tracks through the forest.

Ciao
Tom and Nicola
