To listen:
What happens when you do not know where to go?? Well, sometimes you end up knowing very interesting sites .... This is what happened this weekend ... Initially
The idea was to have gone to do some running in Aizkorri, but pronositico for Sunday was not all good, and did not know how the snow would be (after-aboriginal natives have confirmed the wisdom of our decision, and of course day to have gone to the mountain was on Saturday, he made a spectacular day. Well, the fact is that you stand on Saturday afternoon not knowing where to go. And start dancing calls, sms,
We consultations ... we risk over time, we do something wrong here because if you ...?¿? \u200b\u200bCome to Gorbea?, and if we Aramotz area??
Total, which eventually ended up in the area Charcoal saw that where is that?? Well As you climb the Port de Angulo right ... to the Valle de Mena. And the goal was Gurdieta. That that?? Because it was the last anniversary of the area was left to Kepa_Castro (apart from, also came Ate, Naroa + Ikatz, Gayna and Research). In short, a simple early-morning, that weather and snow were responsible for a little complicated.
Tour:
On paper:
It comes from the town of Santa Ojeda de Mena and the road is simple, just stand in front of the trough (where the cows can drink but you can not wipe your boots) and stuck in the trough is a path that goes to the Port of Egaña and once on top, to the left along the edge ... if you pull to the right, we would go to the Castro Grande (this for another time ...). Oh, and if you want to buy potatoes, right in the farmhouse that is to trough the right you can buy
More information:
Area: Sierra de la Carbonilla
Access: Santa Olaja de Mena (Burgos)
Summit: Gurdieta (1116m)
Travel Distance: 7.5 km
ascent: +900 m (possibly distorted by the wind)
seems to me that this gap is not correct because the peak is at 1116 meters and comes from Santa Olaja which is about 550-560m ... (Subtraction does not give me ...)
Gurdieta
We go with the pictures ...
Koinio ... that looks bad is that ... Up there you say we're going to go? "?
great start to the day we will coat the boots in mud-shit ... what is being done a bit of "mud-boñiging." The paths to go down to avoid this area were interesting ... (go down the middle of a field, jumping fences ...)
Castro La Grande area and their antennae
Ahi is perfectly the hill we go ...
Egaña Port
Here we have Naroa and Research Forest leading the way through ...
The rest of the group ... Gayna alpha male and closing the group ... so it will not fool you one ...
snow began to tread. All lined up and happily because we have not whipped the wind ... There will be time for that
Santa Olaja
Ore is running down ... the sun peeked shyly (a vague illusion ...)
Here the snow is continuing but it goes very well ...
cold because I had to do to Kepa_C was so clogged ...
Research looking at the camera
Gayna
And quickening his step and without looking up ...
you say that? "? And now because you stop? "?
Come, pull up above that we are in the saddle ... (I had to hot here ... 10 meters above the wind "south" to freeze you ideas ...)
We're on the hill, at the end the Castro Grande in the mists
Come on, a steep ... be true that the sun's out?? Not be true ...
We picking up, is right down the hill and at the end the Castro Grande
No, if it seemed to me that we were not going to get lucky with the weather ... God as the wind blew. That cold!
much Do not stand next to the edge, do not go unless you go with the mist to fall ...
have gone down there. And because it's sunny there and up here we're dying of cold ...?
Everything we travel on the plateau summit. Heather Snow and difficult enough progress ... do not ya know where put the foot and suddenly progressed well, and suddenly sank to the knee.
Gurdieta 1116m. Curious mailbox.
If Snapshot = If Cima
Research and
Kepa_Castro
Group photo ... Ate! What are you doing??
That Pesqui?? Problems with the snow??
We were just below the clouds, but they saw across the plateau ...
Castro Grande Bluff with its antennae
Montes de la Peña or Sierra de la Magdalena (Three Fingers, Peña Mayor ...) look good ...
And after drinking a little tonic and eat sardines out of the wind ... come, pa down!
This is a Mendizale without leggings, but Mendizale, and other nonsense ... Ikatz have to go out more! That is getting fat like a wall! And you buy gaiters by god! Gore-tex and check the boots!
After reaching the village, cleaning the boots, tell the landlord that I wanted potatoes, and those who had brought clothes, we went to have changed something Artzeniega way (that no photos, but that was the txoripan rich!).
we went up there (photo taken from the detour to Santa Olaja on the road up to Puerto de Angulo)
The next more and better!
