To Boldly go, or at least try to !

Today's little Jaunt should have taken us on a back road over to Rca Novara which was a mountain of  over 1400m which Sarah fell in love with from a distance back in October. She found a walk which would take us up this peak, If only we could get there !  The road up the valley started promisingly with lovely scenery and orange and lemon groves abounding. We reached a village called Scifi and immediately the signs dissapeared. Carrying on regardless we made our way up the hairpin bends until we saw a sign to our mountain, we were on our way. Round a few corners we came to a bridge, and beyond the bridge the road appeared to have dissapeared. Proceeding with caution the way seemed passable so we carried on. The road gradually got worse and worse as you can see from the pictures. These are the better bits as I could not stop to take shots on the really bad parts, too busy trying to hang on. Sarah had to walk a few of the places where there really was no road, and we both had to dismount and push a few times as well. We eventually came to a wind farm and  luckily I asked a worker if we could continue down into the village. He shook his head and I think he thought we were mad to have come this far. So reluctantly we turned round and came back the way we arrived. All safe and sound except for one time when dismounting, Sarah managed to fall over backward into the verge, luckily on the inside of the corner, and also luckily she had her crash helmet on because she whacked her head. No bones broken so alls well that ends well.
