Yesterday I went out for a walk with our guests, Pat, David, Katie and Fergus.   They have done quite a bit of walking in and around our valley, so I suggested a route that they had never done before – into and along the Val de Rèchy.  To avoid a huge climb, we drove the car as high as we were allowed, along the tracks leading up to Lovégno and parked up.  Nevertheless, with two short, but sharp, detours up to the Becca de Lovegno and Mont Noble, we still ascended around 1200m or 4,000ft in total.
