Can You Recall

I gew up in southern Italy in the mid 70's, in a mountainous village called Cerzeto in the province of Cosenza it only has a couple of hundred people living there, every body knows one another , we used to go up in the mountain as kids, water is freeflowing , no need for shelters, it was great . I go back every 2 years and go back up the mountain, and nothing has changed.

i must have been about 10 when i had my first outing, took some beans and sardines, it was me and 1 mate, cooked the food straight in the tins, we also did some fried eggs with the sardine oil in the tins, we made a shelter or denn from logs and covered it with leaves branches and grass, it was more to cam it up from dog walkers than to keep the rain out......stayed 1 night it was summer so not cold, back then we summer and winter, you know "seasons".........

my first propper over night was with cadets when i was 12, awesome, i was hooked from there, spend many a weekend with the LSW shooting up the new recruits........lol.....
for my sins im in the army now and have been since 16.........now 30....... how time flies........

regards.
