| Livigno 2001 Photo Gallary |
On this page we have a selection of photo's from the Sheep's tour to the Skiing resort of Livigno in the Italian alpes in January 2001. Click on a thumbnail photo to see the enlarged version. The sheep are due to return to Livigno in 2005.
The tour of 2001 had a reduced flock of seven:
This tour is also known for THE greatest moment is sheep folklore. (Will it be repeated in 2005?)
| The Last Night |
Below are a selection of photos from the last night at Gallis bar. We were catching the bus at 03:20am, so we basically didn't bother going home! Click on a photo to enlarge.

 eddleonie.jpg Ed thinks he's having the best conversation ever. Leonie is fly catching in her sleep. |

 richmary.jpg Mary laughs and Rich's singing attempts. The back of Kev and Hannah's heads can be seen. |

 walkhome.jpg This photo would have been a gem if it had come out well. Two-by-two down the street at the end of the night. |
 snowball.jpg Of course jumping through the giant snowball just had to be done! Someone is being helped through what became know as Rich's doubly pierced Knob. |
| The Snow Boarders |
Three of this year's flock tried snowboarding for the first time. Initially finding it hard work, after fresh snow fell on Thursday they became overnight professionals, as the photos below show.
 kevjump1.jpg My god it's a flying black sheep. |
 kevjump2.jpg Kevin, looking totally professional. |
 sbdaz2.jpg Daz Jumping |
 sbgroup.jpg The remains of the snowboarding group. From left, Liz, Daz, Kev, Instructor and Mark. |
 sbdaz.jpg Daz doing rather nicely. |
So you can see now just how well our snowboarding sheep came in just a few lessons. But ... can you spot the tell-tale clue on how well the boarders were actually doing in these photos (take a closer look). Answers on a postcard please!
| People we Met |
The sheep do get around a bit and meet many people as you can imagine. This list is just a start. Check back for updates and photos!
| The Irish Girls
Liz, Mary and Michelle. Mary was one half of the awesome 30-second full-pull with Rich. However Michelle gets the crown as she married our own Jean Michel in 2003. |
The Irish Lads
Lads we're looking forward to the trip to Ireland in April. |
| Hannah and Leonie (sisters)
Hannah was introduced to the two rams on the first day in snowboard school. |
|
| Liz and Mark
Great bunch who we met almost every day. See the snowboarding group photo above to see them. |

| Guest Photo's: Deb and Kath | ||
 deb.jpg Cheeky grin. What had she been doing to Darren? |
 cathdeb.jpg Nice to see Wales in the forefront (for a change!) |
 cath.jpg Sheepish |
| Scenery Photos |
Here are some photos of the scenery of Livigno, taken on Thursday when four of the flock (Darren, Kevin, Aled, Ed and guest Liz) were too knackered to do any snowboarding...
 scene2.jpg Looking down into Livigno, over the area in which we stayed - by the church centre right of the picture (the bells!) |
 scene3.jpg A spectacular view of the Alpes. |
 scene6.jpg Some snow and mountains! |
 scene4.jpg Taken when coming down one of the chair lifts. Two sheep can be spotted on the next chair down, and in the distance is the frozen lake Livigno. |
 scene5.jpg This picture is of the nursery slopes where the snowboarding sheep spend most of their time. Daz and Kev are in the crowd just to the right of the hut. |
 scene7.jpg And yet more snow. This is half way up the mountain, before the blue run. |
 topofworld.jpg The sightseeing sheep at the lodge at the top of the mountain. |
 strangers.jpg Within minutes of meeting these people they wanted our costumes. |
