Mucus In Newborn Throat

Coll Formic - Mines of Remedy


Sunday 03/23/2008 (6:00)
(Route conducted by Pisaterrones)





Incredible, two trips to the mountain in the same week, this can be done only the most privileged.


It's 6 am and we are in Premia de Mar, looking asleep. We take the cars and headed out to Coll Formic (1.144m), an important point of Montseny in the world of hiking, from here starts the famous march of Matagalls - Montserrat.


As we approach Coll Formic, we see that is slowly changing the landscape from green to white, the snow is incredible find, if they said that there was no snow !!!!!.



At 7:00 we left the car in the parking Coll Formic, with a temperature of -4 degrees, and a blanket of snow at our feet. We started walking along the trail that goes under the restaurant, toward the hermitage of Sant Cristòfol (the Castanya). During this first installment, we left to show our enthusiasm for the landscape as white, and with comments or taking pictures as Chinese.

At 9:00 we arrived at the hermitage of Sant Cristòfol, where we get a little injured a woman (he had a galipandría over, I hope it has improved), gives us to see the hermit, and of course, we have to take a glance. A small hermitage, but well preserved, we even have the luxury of raising his little bell.

continue the road south. Upon reaching the source of Bosco, we stopped for breakfast. Rafa tells me how it has changed the landscape over a few years ago when this source water flowed abundantly, and now it flows the air because of water, but in our bottles. Media

for breakfast, and walk again. We are struggling to get going, the cookie Remedios, are too much weight to go, luckily the road is downhill, rare in our outings, but so far we have only to descend.

Three hours after the start, we got Remei the Mines. A somewhat hidden entrance, and low rise is the start of a gallery, where formerly mined copper. We enter crouching, as the height of one meter, and we found several galleries, some down, others go up, but we settle for crossing about 10 meters, and get out.


look back a few meters to track towards "les Roques del Corb. The road is blocked at various points in the bushes, and hidden under the snow.


When we got to "Les Roques, the passage through the trough, to continue in the direction of" pla Cafe "is covered with snow and with a to high risk of suffering a major slip, with which it decides to Coll Formic, breaking the journey.


On the way back, we were surprised to see areas you'd spent a few hours ago, which were completely covered by snow, and now there was no trace of it.


When we had half hour to get to Coll Formic, we are suddenly in the middle of a snowstorm, not very important, but snow, and we take to make the latest photos.


Almost at 15h, we finally arrived at Coll Formic, where we met a wave of people celebrating the snow, and among them, a team of TV3, making a live connection to the news of the day Mig.


Regards, and until next time.

Example Prayer Faithful Wedding

Vallter2000 - Bastiments


Thursday 20/03/2008 (6:00)

is not a mistake, is Thursday, and do not work .... As promised, and today we are making Bastiments. After two weekends of drought (in terms of walking), and using both Sergi as I do not have to work, we will Vallter2000 from which to start our first march mountain this year.

At 6 am we left Mataró Vallter2000 direction, stopping to make a coffee at Sant Joan de les Abadesses.

's 8 am and we are in the car park at the foot of the ski lift ski Vallter2000. The car thermometer mark 6 degrees below zero, but when you open the door a gale, and when I say strong is very strong, while it cost to open the door, shows the strength with which we are going to have to face, but with the hope the wind dies down, and let us enjoy the wonderful sun does.

started walking along the GR 11 which exits the bottom of the car, heading south in search of an intersection a few meters, where we take a road NW to get back to GR11 above the parking, but happy path is well covered by snow, and after 1 hour of walking, we decided to take the car and go 200 meters down the road, where to park the car and take the GR11 directly.

's 10 am and get going back to the GR11, Ulldeter toward the shelter. It did not take long to start the landscaping freak snow and take pictures, but by hand, we realize that we will need the granpones, which we have not brought.

arrived at the shelter and continue through the RM runs parallel to the ski slope, where we met a skier going up the ski slope (which they do save some for the pass) but we soon realize that the skier's destination was not the beginning of the track, but come to the Sow Coll. just like ours. Since the beginning

top of the ski slope, we see a group of four up to Coll de la Sow, which gives us courage, because we are treading the snow where we go, and we think that we facilitate promotion. But on reaching the foot of the Coll discovered that the footprints in the snow will not suffice, we get the poles to help, but even so, the steep, ice zones and the extremely strong wind, put us in trouble on several occasions. After 1 hour since we started walking, we got to the Sow Coll.

From here we went to coll Bastiments, but before we seek a refuge where the extremely strong wind to eat something.

Fortunately from Coll of the Sow to the Coll de Bastiments, snowy areas are minimal, and the only thing that makes the ride is the wind, which causes us a very strong feeling cold.

After overcoming a steep slope with a gradient of + - 50%, we arrive at the Coll de Bastiments, where we find clapas ice snow, which added an even stronger wind, we make it very difficult to 300 meters we are to reach the peak. We move very cautiously, trying to ensure each step we take, coming to have to stand up and nail the sticks on the ice until the wind dies down a bit. And, step by step we got to the Pic de Bastiments. We take the required pictures, and decided to take the mountain down through, for the pan, and go back to Coll is a big risk. The decline of the pie is not a path of flowers, the loose stones are a trap for our ankles, and added to the damn wind that never ceases to blow, we suffer several stumble, but if too much importance.

half an hour we are looking at how to tackle the decline in coll of the Sow, the road we had uploaded is too uneven, and the snow has hardened a lot. We decided to go down a path a little further south, which appears to just under the snow slope and softer. But we soon realize that this road is snow so hard that it is almost impossible to nail boots and poles, there are even areas with ice. The fear of falling and low-slope skating, extreme make us a lot every step we take, and try to go find areas where there are gaps in some steps.

finally got down the slope without suffering any mishaps Coll. From here we return to the shelter of Ulldeter and from this the car. They

14:00 pm when we reached the car. We have taken four hours to go all out and have some hunger. Try to eat near the car, but as the wind that has accompanied us throughout the morning, continues to accompany us now and we decided to jump on the car and go to Setcases to eat.

Who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind (I think we have picked up wind to the remains.)

Regards and until the next

Custom 14 Foot Aluminum Boat

exit in the Montseny Moto







Sunday 03/16/2008 9:30 am

After a weekend in which only ....., did you eat this played out to make amends and take a tour of Nuria, we intended to climb Vallter Bastiments since 2000, but an injury late Sergi (a certain age can not do things according to ... I say this from experience), was canceled out.

Considering the circumstances, Sergi asked me out on Sunday on a bike, with this brand new Yamaha MT-03 and my wonderful new Kawasaki Versys, and I could not deny.

So Sunday we were at 9:30 am in Mataró (while pisaterrones friends were having lunch somewhere lost in the Vall de Sau).

De Mataró went for the C60 to the Rock, from here for the C35 to Santa Maria and the Palautordera BV-5301 up to Montseny.

We got into a bar for a drink and a short time after we set off to return home.

A quiet morning with little sun, what more can you ask of life !!!!!!.

Regards and until next time.

What To Write In My Boss's Birthday Card

walk Riells (Montseny)


Sunday 03/03/2008, 7:00 AM
(Route conducted by Pisaterrones)
Riells
We are in a small village 7.5 km from Breda for the GIV-5521 .

The beginning of this march is known as "El Camí de les cascades" which begins just outside the Church of Sant Martí, by a forest track NW.

A few meters away is to leave this track to enter a Corriol that is left of the march. As a reference, just go into it, it must pass through a small wooden bridge.

The road runs along the river of Riells, and on a few occasions it has to cross from one band to another, as best you can. In our case, according to some members of the expedition, the crossings were too. It was thought that so many crosses, were part of a Machiavellian plot by Rafa, who tried to get a photograph of a faux leg in the river, and thus earn a euritos (that things are really bad ...), but unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, it was not.

During this first stage, the way lives up to its name "Camí de les cascades." Were a few waterfalls which served as targets for our cameras. Even after it has rained recently, there was water. It was wonderful to hear the sound of water, which for some time had not been given the chance. You can also enjoy the typical vegetation of a wetland, among which are several old chestnuts.

After 2 hours, we had a small incident. Rafa left the group to explore an alternative path, and thus able to shorten. Were clear indications "do not move until you call." Having spent a few minutes (eternal when expected), Reme shouted the name of Rafa, and he seemed to hear a reply, immediately afterwards we set off. By "short time" we stopped to see that all he heard was the barking of dogs. Fear began empowering the group, started calling Rafa, but we still get no response, most twisted thoughts came to mind, "may have been eaten by dogs", "may have been sunk in the leaves tapaban all the way "MY GOD, WE ARE GOING TO DIE ".... but it was thanks to the technology (mobile) we could contact him. Then the fear became concerned," you'll see the anger that is going to fall. " We returned to the starting point, where we had to not be moved, and there was Rafa, a little spoiled and somewhat annoyed by the bad time that we had been through. After several roofs and a few apologies ("The fault was OF REME), we got to breakfast, to regain some strength.

After this little adventure, we continued our way to THE COLL OF MOSQUERA, through the SOT DELS PASSEJADORS, overcoming a height difference of +-400m. During all this section, we were walking down a blanket of leaves that covered the road, hiding under them, loose stones, fallen branches, roots protruding from the ground. All this increased the difficulty of the road, any time we encounter one of these obstacles and caused an injury (thank goodness I have my card group Premia de Mar hiker, and this can not be happening. Are you waiting to become a member !!!!).

Rafa told me that the road we were traveling, was a way that once they used the charcoal, and certainly we could see several bunkers.

After 4 hours and 20 'we come to the Coll de la Mosquera where we took the group picture, and without further delay we began our descent at breakneck speed in response to a challenge that David had suggested we "get to the car before 13:00" and that it was 11:30.

We went down the runway to Sinai, from here continue to Pla de Gratallops, where the trail ends and has to continue for a Corriol. This made us slow down, and unable to meet the challenge. We

to Pla de saba, which ended a little before Corriol and again became a great track, which will continue until you reach Riells, which was exactly at 13:33. End of tour.

recommend doing "camí de les cascades "to the whole world. It is a journey without much slope, with little difficulty and a magnificent landscape, is one of those rides sunday, to make 10 in the morning and then stay to eat at one of the many farmhouses are in the area (and not charging one euro for this recommendation).

If you want to know more about this exit, do not hesitate to consult the Pisaterrones Web, where you will find the track, profile and photos.

A final recommendation. Do not listen to a person who is medicated and heard voices and confuse a man with two arms in their hands, with a car or a bike ..... (A hug Reme, which is being removed. ...;) .)

Regards and until next time.
