The natural beauty of the Balkans takes you back to the Alps of over 50 years ago. Signposts are rare but your local guide knows the paths intimately and will lead you high amongst rugged peaks, untamed wild landscapes, through traditional farming communities and rural villages. You are welcomed warmly each evening in rustic guest houses and traditional alpine huts where locally sourced home cooking awaits. The solitude and silence encourages deep sleep, We fly to Tirana, Albania’s capital, and transfer to Kruja. The following day we travel by bus and ferry to Valbona. On day three you begin the epic trek. From the village of Valbona we climb through the trough of Prosllopi close to the Montenegrin border. Our first summit is Kollatë at 2555m, where the majestic view of the Valbona Valley takes the breath away. You tackle an impressive number of summits over the coming days from crossing into Montenegro over a pass and continue to the highest peak of Maja Rosit 2524m. The views never disappoint, each offering a completely different but impressive mountain panorama. A highlight is walking in the heart of the Prokletije Mountains in the Albanian Alps, taking you across ancient trading routes on former mule tracks to wild terrain, alpine meadows and oak and pine forests. You also walk in some of the most picturesque national parks imaginable, including Biogradska Gora National Park. Here you walk from Katun Vranjak to Lake Biogradska, passing blueberry fields, and unique landscapes shaped by glaciers and traditionally cultivated alpine pastures. Your final afternoon is spent in Kotor Bay, where you can soak your well-travelled feet in the glistening Kotor Fjord. WHAT'S INCLUDED Return flights and airport transfers. Accommodation in local guest houses, small hotels and Mountain huts. Meals on a full board basis. All local transport costs. HOLIDAY GRADE Grade 8 This is a Grade 8 challenging holiday. It will include hard mountain walking every day with long ascents and descents and scrambling. Stamina and a good head for heights is essential. Distances will probably not exceed 12 miles, but ascents and descents will normally be between 1,000 and 1,500m. Expect long and exhilarating days. See the Walks & Excursions section for more information. HOLIDAY ITINERARY Day Content Meals Location 1 We fly from London Gatwick to Tirana Airport (Albania). D Kruja, Albania On arrival we transfer by road(45 minutes) to Kruja our first centre for the evening. 2 After breakfast, we’ll start our transfer towards north B,L,D Valbona, Albania Albania. We will take the ferry from Komani along the Koman reservoir and leave the ferry in Fierzë, from where the trip will continue by bus to Bajram Curri. From here the road runs through the valley, alongside the Valbona river until we reach the hamlet of Valbona where we are now surrounded by a wild and beautiful panorama and the rugged mountain peaks of the Albanian Alps. Along the way we will have time for a snack, while lunch is planned in Valbona. This afternoon a relaxed walk in the village is planned. 3 After breakfast we will follow a steep trail along the B,L,D Valbona, Albania trough of Prosllopi (Lugu i Prosllopit) up to the vicinity of the Montenegrin border. At first, the trail goes through forest, but from about 1,700 m, there is little vegetation. A tough walk and a bit of scrambling takes us to the top of Kollatë. The view from the beginning to the end of Valbona Valley isn't possible from any other summit. After a short break, we will start descending back to the guest house. Walking time aprox 7 hours 30 minutes, ascent +1625m, descent -1625m. 4 Today we follow the Valbona valley up to Rragam located B,L,D Thethi, Albania at 1130m. After crossing a stream, the trail leads gently uphill through open forest before becoming steeper. A ‘café in the woods’ is encountered on the way. On the "Qafa e Valbonës" at an altitude of 1812 m, there are views of both Thethi and Valbona valleys. The descent towards Thethi starts steeply on a gravel path and descends through the forest. We stop at another, more substantial ‘café in the woods’ which makes for a good lunch stop.

Some way below the pass we cross into Montenegro at 1245m where a stone pyramid marks the border. An abandoned bunker and military outpost are reminders of the political isolation endured here in recent history.

  • Accommodation from Dinner on Day 1 to Breakfast on Day 12
    Tour Code: 24280 ALTA VIA I Grade 8 Hiking the high route through the Holiday Duration: 12 days HOLIDAY DATES Dolomites 31st Aug 2017 - 11th Sept 2017 Of all the long distance treks across the Dolomites, the Alta Via I is considered to be the finest. HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS Wild challenging walking. Great food in traditional mountain huts. The views across the Dolomites at sunrise or sunset. ALTA VIA I As you move up the valley from the Lago di Braies the sight of the emerging rock towers of the Dolomites takes your breath away. These mountains are your home for the best part of the next two weeks. You overnight at around 2500m for most of the time, spending ten consecutive nights in mountain huts and cross not a single valley, village or settlement. This truly is wilderness-walking, but your route specifically avoids technical via ferrata sections. Of all the long distance treks across the Dolomites, the Alta Via I is considered to be the finest. The walking varies from level strolling through lush meadows to steep zig-zag scree, from ambling ascents in forests to dramatic traverses. The simple life will soon become your way of life. You can snack on the wild strawberries, raspberries and wineberries picked from the wayside. You are treated to an alpine paradise – with alpine plants you may never have seen before – including the delightful wild cyclamen and miniature broom. Early in the season alpine rhododendrons add more colour to the landscape. You cover about 100 miles in 10 days, with a rest day at the Rifugio Averau.

  • Reliability of Load Bearing Systems
    Reliability of Load Bearing Systems An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: _________________________________ Michael Collins _________________________________ Patrick Collins _________________________________ Charles Cummings ___________________________ Tyler Hay March 5, 2010 Abstract As the technology of war advances the loads carried by United States infantrymen have increased. These excessive loads, often well over 100 pounds, have limited the combat effectiveness of Marines. The current load bearing systems used to carry equipment into battle do not sufficiently meet the requirements of the United States Marine Corps. This project focuses on the impact of heavy load bearing systems on the Marine Corps's war fighting philosophy. A brief history of load bearing systems used by the United States Arm Forces is presented. Recommendations for the development of light and resilient load bearing systems for modern warfare are presented as well. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... 1 Authorship Page .............................................................................................................................. 4 Chapter 1: Fundamentals of War and Combat Loads ..................................................................... 5 1.1 Introduction

Signature: ..................................... Date : ......................... ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The information about African star lore was obtained from various sources. I have mixed the mythology of the Zulu, Venda, Tswana and Sotho traditions and not separated them. Some of the words which Kingston uses in this regard, for example, the stars being holes in the rocky vault of the sky, come from these concepts. The sources used include Auke Slotegraaf’s website, www.psychohistorian.org, the collection of legends assembled by Dr Dave Laney of the South African Astronomical Observatory, Cosmic Africa, a film produced by Dr Thebe Medupe, as well as The Crocodile Swallows the Sun by Maritha Snyman, Bheki Ntuli and Danisile Ntuli.
