June 28th - me and Dean set out to climb to Hagenturm, up on the Randen overlooking the Alps (on a clear day)
So here's a pic of Dean showing off the kind of landscape he regularly cycles though whilst building the miles for his Ironman events.
Next, shows him filling his water bottle in one of the many natural springs that every village seems to have.
I dread to think what kind of bug I might catch if I tried this at the water trough on Blackerhill, maybe the name gives it away!

Then here's me at the top of the tower with Germany in the background, and finally as we descend towards the postcard pretty village of Hemmental, it's OK but not a patch on Wombwell.
