 I was curious to watch part of the process. i am more and more tempted to start diving again but I think without being too technical. I think I need to return to recreational, non challenging dives.
For two years I have been doing research to find as much information as possible on the topic of via ferrata. Visiting the via ferratas which date back to the 1914-18 war would be interesting. In this short video recording we see some of the tunnels dug in to the mountain as well as where soldiers would have slept. Via ferrata is not just a sport to see nice landscapes. Historic exploration is also possible.

Two things have struck me recently. The first one is “once those people cross over the border in to another country they are refugees, they have lost everything” and the second is the angle we never see if we watch mainstream media. I have listened to people speaking about their experiences, their journey from country to country until they found a refugee camp. They speak of fleeing one country and moving to another. They move a second time because that country is now at war as well. They lose everything and start again for a third time. The more stories I hear and the more fascinating I find these stories. It reminds me of a flat mate I spoke to when living in Weymouth. If I remember correctly he witnessed armed conflict in Sudan. He told me about having to scavenge for food, about how the wrong shape of face could see you killed and other such events. Too much time is spent by the mainstream media looking at quotas and feeding people’s fears. More time should be spent telling people of the events that lead up to people deciding that becoming a refugee is the only option.
