From Italy just follow U'r nose west to UK, but it's not that easy, so much rare scenery to stop try to capture in photo.



Trip to Scuol was bit of nostalgia for me, last here with my Kayaking buddies maybe 20 years ago, think was trip in high water, with Mikey & Stu, watched by locals in some disbelief, comment at time was "What would Mike W. Say?" But today water was very low, not sure just time of year, or more Hydroelectric extraction for 'White gold' ie or clean power.

In the kayaking trip was an extra 2m water depth, much chaos, but somehow the canoeist navigates it or sometimes not!
