The weather forecast was far from good and so we decided to go do a small via ferrata that could be done without gear – Sass de Rocia. It included 2 sets of metal steps and 2 cute bridges. Despite the rain and fog we had some good views, including the one below right of the very acute hairpin bend we had driven up.

Photo left of the village of Ronche. Photo right of Anni and I pouting because there was no view from the high point, AND I had had to step over a void to get there.

The “bivouac” with “veranda” was occupied by a group of Scotsmen so we didn’t lunch there.

First bridge, with Anni and I descending towards the Madonna on the right. Frank was overtaken by the Scotsmen who were fully kitted out with Via Ferrata gear, and not afraid to use it (except for the chap who realised Anni and I had climbed down unclipped and so tossed his crabs over his left shoulder, whacking himself in the head as he did so, just after he had left them dangling nearly tripping himself up!).

Lunch in the shelter near Rifugio Migon. Frank takes us to all the best places for lunch! Not much sign of life in the Rifugio – yet again. Frank insists that we pose in the rain next to a statue of a soldier. (I draw the line at including the photo of me standing next to the plaster of Paris bird statue).
