Locals sit and drink wine...
From comments received since writing my original travelogue on Monte Venda, the locals have advised me that they don't climb the mountain.
They sit at the bottom of the hill, drink wine, and watch the rest of us silly fools do the deed.
Apparently we provide lots of amusement for the local population...
**Pls Note: The truth of the matter is many of the local population climb this 'hill' on a regular basis, either by foot, or mountain bike. There are varying degrees of difficulty, so don't be daunted.



We started our 'walk' way down there...
