The schedule is not the Holy Script, it can be modiffied on the spotIt is very tough. It can be that one destination must be shifted to the next day.
climbing Vesuvius the scedule can be shortened or extended depending on weather, budget etc.
~ 4000 km car driving , ~500 € fuel costs. That must be shared by the participants. Motor way tolls I am going to pay for.
On the way home wwe can climb some destinations in North Italy :
718 - Forcella Cibiana 1530 m
Ljubljana -Zagreb motor way - Budapest
Who is going to join us even for one day?
