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. This is the starting point to visit the restored galleries, trenches and emplacements of the World War I Open Air Museum. It also boasts fine cuisine and a veranda with views across to the Marmolada. Please note that this is not a supported trek and you will need to carry all your kit with you between the overnight stops. WHATS INCLUDED Return flights and airport transfers. Full board accommodation from dinner on day 1 to breakfast on day 12. All local transport costs. HOLIDAY GRADE 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. Today we enter the dramatic Cortina Dolomites.

  • 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
