Mitake 1999.

After having gone hiking 4 times alone in 1999 I finally managed to tempt a large bunch of friends to go with me. We were a total of 10 people. 4 guys and 6 girls.

The Northern Alps 1999. Second Trip.

Since joining PTC I had not taken too much time off, so after 3 years, I had to take some more time off in order not to loose my holidays. I decided to go back to the norhtern alps again, and spend a total of 4 days hiking around under blue sky in the end of September.

Tateyama 1999.

Instead of taking the plane back to Tokyo after visiting a customer in Toytama prefecture, I hiked back to Nagano over Tateyama.

I had 9 days for my summer holiday and I intended to spend them all in the northern alps of Japan hiking from one mountain top to the other.
