it was easier to drive than it looked

Image

the best, driving in a rocky landscape awild scenerie

Image

but then :shock: our speed was stopped by a long snowfield

Image

Schneckerl said we must go back :) no only forward is our possibility
Siro and me went to the pass for looking how difficult it will be at the other parts of the steep road and if southbound is more or less snow on the road


Image


scouting took time :)

Image

uups from here it looks bad

Image

but we reached the pass and the southbound side looks not so bad, we know now we have to work hard

Image

we dismantled our luggage and givis

Image

first snowfield

Image

and we need more spare parts from nature

now we think the difficulties are over

rolling down the gravelroad

Image

and then a huge snowfield, when we scout the road we could not see behind this bend and think south side the sun have melted all the snow :roll:

Image

"Schneckerl" and his nerves were down, but "Siro" our hero drove with all the full loadet bikes beside the road trough big rocks to the other side from the snowfield :clap: :clap:

Image

Image

we need a rest, so we made overnight camp by a waterfountain

Image

Image

a good campspot with fresh water and lot of firewood

Image

it was a good day, i´m happy
