I’m back!! BACK!! After a whole year, I’m finally back on a mountain!
Yeah, I know there are “mountains” in Ireland, but it’s definitely not the same. I mean, today I managed to hike to the Pratignano lake (Lago di Pratignano) in the province of Modena. It’s at 1,307m above sea level: not particularly high up… But it’s still more than 200m higher than Ireland’s highest mountain!!
And the weather… well, it’s absolutely impossible to compare 🙂

Who said you can’t shoot into the sun?
It didn’t feel like December at all!

Great day and hike. Tip of the hat to our wonderful guides!
