wybe...knowing what a keen photographer you are maybe when you have finished taking photos of the views from the more spectacular view points along the walk you may want to take a rest in one of the less spectacular resting areas along our walking trail..what this one lacks in views it makes up in other ways...we are blessed that beatriz thinks of everything.......ta ken

here is an exclusive photo of the new leonard cohen all terrain tourist fun bus/train undergoing trials in a secret location in europe under the ever watchful eye of our leader and webmaster ...beatriz is hoping to hire the vehicle for the benefit of the infirm and elderly members of the walking group (for which there are many) who can't manage the walking or the escalators...we hope to acquire it and transport it to viladrau when it finishes it's inaugural summer season on hydra where it is going to be used on the island's new exciting bus route running between the port the new leonard cohen bus stop and kamini

…sorry tom I doubt if funds will cover the expense of hiring a helicopter..but you can ask….ta ken

Hello friends,

After a silent busy time, hiring the most qualified local escalator engineers, looking for UHTC chair manufacturers, best spots in the mountains to place them, trying to book the brand new Leonard Cohen all terrain tourist fun bus/train and making unhuman efforts to fit an helicopter in our limited budget,
I'm finally ready to start with hotel bookings.
You all will have an email with all the information included.
I've updated the participants list to let you look for someone to share hotel rooms or apartments.
YOU DON'T NEED to book by yourselves. Just send me an email with your suited option.
I will contact hotels for you as a group.

Those are so beautiful, Ken. Great design! Do we get to choose our colour? For me, I respectfully request the green and blue. They're all great, but that one really resonates with me; perhaps because they are the 'earth' colours. Black & white would normally be my colour combination of choice, but the green and blue is outstanding, and I would LOVE to have IT, if possible!

Thanks!

dear liverpoolken,
please may i have a small black & white badge. and one for my dear wife. please remember that the wrong colour badge could lead to kneecapping (or worse) in this beautiful part of our country. if we could have them with catalan writing that would be great...
of course you say you can't complain

our walk organiser (she who has to be obeyed) decided that the blue/green badge would be the badge of choice for the weekend...so there are enough blue/green badges for everyone..with about 25 each of the two other designs for those who for either religious or political reasons cannot wear blue or green...however the main purpose of the badge is to act as ID to help identify bodies in case of accidents..ta ken
