Crosses

Keeping track of the various mountains (or ‘massifs’) in the Alps has proven to be difficult. The other day, I was describing the details of a particularly grueling hike to one of the locals in my swim club. Naturally, I was asked where I had been. My response? “There was a cross on the top”. This was followed by an outburst of laughter by everyone in the room; there are crosses on so many of the peaks in the Alps, that using a cross as an identifier is absolutely useless. Time to buy a topographical map!


Glad to have some guides...
