Ah yes that makes a lot more sense! I did wonder why guide dogs would need to be quite so fast-moving...
4 years ago1985 - good year! Glad it's recognisable from the photos - I guess it probably hasn't changed enormously!
4 years agoIt was actually 1985 that I was in Bad Mitterndorf. A minor point but I'd rather it was only 35 years ago and not 40. Which I can't believe it was that long ago anyway. Your photos brought it all back so easily.

Thanks Kathleen - that's amazing, I guess the valleys tend to funnel people to the same destinations, but it's still pretty remarkable as it's not like Bad Mittendorf is that big a place. Yeah, it's a really dramatic location and seems to be a lovely town - in some ways I wish I could have got to know it a bit better. I was lucky to have good conditions and needed to make the most of them!
4 years agoI had just been wondering "I wonder if he'll go through Bad Mitterndorf" but hadn't actually gotten around to looking up where it was located. I spent Christmas 1980 in Bad Mitterndorf at the start of 18 months of traveling around Europe and Africa. I was there with my brother and his wife, who lived in Heidelberg, and my sister, who was attending Reading U for the year. We had a lot of fun there; going to the bad was an everyday activity. I forgot about Grimming and how it dominated the valley. Great to see it again. You earned that meal at the campground. Spectacular day.
4 years agoThat crane looks like it's attached to the mountain. That gave things a very weird perspective. I eventually figured it out though.
4 years agoGreat job! Sorry about all the rain.
4 years agoIt was a big day with lots of variety! I'll just say that things continued to be ... interesting. Mostly in a good way!
