"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Route Climbed: Forest track from Nature Centre Date Climbed: 21 June 2001After the easy ascent of the Vaalserberg I was keen to get my boots on before the more stiff ascents of Germany and Eastern Europe. After tastey eats in Eupen I waited for the hourly bus to Botrange at the station. The road climbed higher and higher and then past a large tower - it then dawned on me that the road ran past the summit. Two miles down the road I was at the nature centre crowded by school nature parties. Less than twenty minutes I was back at the tower after walking along a forest track. Not an exciting summit but the forest was pleasant - before I knew it I was heading south to Troisvierges and Luxmebourg!
