I was up near Folignio in some little village. my girlfriend's cousin took me out with alocal boar hunting club called 'Porki's'!

They are a real farmer's outfit - most of them are about 5ft tall and their dogs are sewn up with string.

Wonderfully hospitable, very odd, barely organised, beautiful scenery and a real experience. It has become an annual event for me.

I'm hoping my luck in seeing a piggy coincides with my next visit when I want to take that 1897 hammer Paradox I mentioned earlier over there.
