    We did a "Drive 'n' Hike" today up to the semi-abandonded village of Morillo de San Pietro. The village sits at an altitude of 970m (we live at 600m) and is about 4km north of us in a straight line (9.5km by "mountain gravel road"). The climb from Boltaña up to the turn off to the village is part of route ZE-09 which I've ridden several times. It's a nice steady workout :-) There's one couple who still live up in the village and two other "holiday" houses that are visited during the year. The remaining dozen or so properties are in varying states of repair - from "passable" to "only the external walls still standing". The local council refurbished the gravel road and installed solar electricity to all the properties a few years ago in an effort to encourage people to move back there. The views are spectacular, but it's pretty rural. The 9km drive takes a good 25 mins to complete and the village becomes isolated when it snows heavily - so not entirely practicle for most people . . . .

    Wasn't the plane empty on leaving ORT? Not sure how you can get the weight of an empty plane wrong by 90 tons??

    I had to go on a fairly long car trip once and the day before, my car developed a "noise". And old guy I worked with asked me what I was going to do - I said "turn the radio up". Ignorance really is bliss :-)

    It was amazing. And don't forget the original RB-211 came out a long long time ago. There may be a whole host of older 747 Freighters using them around the world. I'd love one to play with . . . . .
  14. Bonus
    Yep. Off retired 747's apparently. I'm sure there's a ton of them somewhere!

    Yesterdays blast on the MTB . . . . stopped up in the Old Town to grab some water from the "Fuente" and a couple of pics..... My bike with the Peña Montañesa behind it and the Rio Cinca looking south towards the Mediano Dam. It was a beautiful day and good to be out :-)

    There are loads of little walks around here. One of our favs takes us along the Rio Ara to this little bridge next to a picnic spot just outside Boltaña. Today I read that the local council are going to refurbish the bridge and improve the picnic area for the summer. I enjoy the walks, but invariably I see bike tracks...... and I wish we were riding!

    Another Road Ride today with Jose. From Boltaña to Graus Plaza - 53km with 900m of climbing. Open roads, sunshine, no traffic, some climbing..... and some descending. We saw Vultures and a pet Jabalíe (Wild Boar), we met friends and had lunch. It was a great day out :-) Some amazing views today . . .

    I think he may have mentioned this before, how many blades there are, how much they weigh and how long it takes?
  24. Bonus
    Cool. Can you imagine the relief in the room when the main 'shute opened?

    I'm guessing that the joke is that people who don't know, think every prop plane is a Cessna? When my youngest lad was small every helicopter was "a Lynx"... (apart from a Chinook, which was different enough for him to notice)
