DA VIS, Cicerone Press, ISBN 0-902363- 28-X.
With the use of an Italian/English dictionary many first class guides are available in the Dolomites.
b. The Tobacco Range of Maps 1:50,000 sheets 1 to 11 covers the Dolomites. For more detailed information:
Kompass 1:25,000, sheets 615 to 623 and Tobacco 1:25,000.
All of these are available from local newsagents and Tourist Centres although some difficulty may be experienced in obtaining maps of other areas outside of the region you are in. Edward STANFORDS of 12 Longacre, WC2E 9LP, Tel: 071 836 1321 are most helpful in the supplying of any maps.
8. CONCLUSION

The Dolomites provide spectacular multi­ pitch climbing up to the highest level in an area of remarkable scenery'. The abundance of Alpine Huts, Refuges and restaurants/snack bars accessible by a wide range and standard of mountain and climbing trails enables Alpinists of all levels to enjoy this area.
Although few snow and ice routes exist, the glacier of Marmolada and the high tops and gullies can provide difficulties that require snow and ice skills.
Having the Meet based at CANAZEI allowed easy access to a large number of routes for even those without their own transport.
I would like to thank Squadron Leader FINNEGAN whose planning and leadership led to such a successful Joint Service Alpine Meet.
I would also like to thank all those ships, establishments and commands whose support enabled the attendance of the RNRMMC members.

9. RECOMMENDATION
That the formula of holding the Meet in an area that provides access to the mountains for those without their own transport, as well as with, and centred together, is continued.
