About this audio guide
This guide to the Vereda do Larano near Machico, Madeira, follows a runner on the island's great ultra trail as they reach this cliff path after a night and a day on their feet. It reaches back to a handful of Funchal mountain club members and the yearly dare they set themselves in the early two thousands. Best heard on the open ledge, looking back toward Porto da Cruz.
