Does walking across a small country appeal to you ?

If so you will love the Liechtenstein Trail

A 75km route will take you from 🇨🇭 to 🇦🇹

It’s not without its challenges, some which may surprise you

My overview & day 1 ⤵️

I have a ticket to sell for the Champions Cup final

L12, row 15, face value £120, purchased through the app - can be transferred

I didn’t fall out with a Bordeaux or Northampton fan - I was always going alone and hoping to support Leinster 💙

Anyone interested ?

It’s always interesting to see a monument where you don’t expect it to be !

Do you know where this is ?
