Yes, it is the very same Roger Bunyan. And, I remember your name! You were in my class at St. Philips in Atherton, yes? That was a long time ago. I have now retired but still get out into the mountains as much as I can. I wish you well with your writing project, it sounds interesting. Best wishes and good luck. Roger.

I am wondering if this is the same Mr Bunyan who taught in Lancashire in the early eighties.
I was your student at primary level if you are indeed the man concerned?
I remember that the teachers name was indeed Roger Bunyan
I was involved in the cross country team and he was an avid runner and walker
I am in the process of having an amateur attempt at writing about my education back then and photos and images have brought back many memories
This isn’t some weird email but I read with interest your posts
I don’t even know if you will get this email but hope it is yourself and wish you well
Kind Regards
Louise Brandwood-Price

Hi Kate!
The snowshoe trails around Seefeld are well marked. Whether to go alone depends on your experience. I agree with Ryan, always tell somebody where you are going if you go on your own. There are local maps available and there are online descriptions. Don’t forget to get the latest weather forecast from the Information Centre in Seefeld. There are local snowshoe tours available, again the Information Centre can give you details. But, it is worth experiencing the beauty of these Tyrollean mountains! Enjoy.

It’s always important, if you go by yourself, tell someone where you plan to go and for how long. Or, go to iNeverSolo.com and set up an account. Always try to snowshoe with a partner, if possible. If the trails aren’t marked well, bring a compass and become familiar with the area by studying maps.

I have moderate experience snowshoeing in Colorado. I live in the UK now and have been looking for places in Austria/Germany with good Nordic trails. Seefeld came up in my searches. Your description of the views sound lovely but the trails seem not well marked, would you recommend for someone alone?
