Mark was on a mission.
With a somewhat purposeful stride Mark is seen somewhere between Magaro in Macedonia and Kato in Albania. He is quite possibly over the border in Albania at this time.
Back in 2012 Albania was still near enough a closed state and when Mark and I had climbed Magaro a prominent peak in the then named country of FYROM, (now named North Macedonia) we chose to extend our hike by nipping over the border and climbing the nearby Albanian mountain, Kato. This was a tad risky given the fact that at this time the border was sometimes patrolled by the military. Mark wasn't too keen on this detour so he made speedy progress out and back.
As can her seen Mark has a habit of travelling light when the weather permits.
