One side of the hut was crammed with garbage. 'Don't sneer at it!' warned David. @there's lots of good meals in there.'

Another teaser from Nicholas Crane's Clear Waters Rising - his account of walking across Europe along the mountain ranges. Things are getting serious, winter has arrived and he's got to the Alps. That teaser is from a diversion(?) up Mont Blanc.

I slept in bosomy clefts overlooking the ocean with my back turned to the mountains. From my sleeping bag I watched day melt into night and the waking eyes of ships' lights being brushed by the sleeping strobes of lighthouses.

From Nicholas Crane 'Clear Waters Rising' (A Mountain Walk across Europe)- a story of the writer's walk across the mountains of Europe from Cape Finisterre to Istanbul. Here's the good reads entry and another review. That teaser is a bit flowery, the next sentence has 'the milky light of dawn' but there's good story telling in this book and good historical snippets on the regions he passes through. I've just reached the Pyrenees with him so there's a little way to go yet and lots of walking to do, the goodreads reviews suggests it gets better. It sounds a wonderful experience to have but the practicalities for most folk would rule it out but here's the experience shared!
