Mainstream Whipp Movie

04 - December - 2010 Laguna De La Nava

Today we hit the mountain with the intention of stepping on some snow. We do not know how it will be the mountains, so we've gotten into the pack all items possible, crampons, snowshoes, etc. ... in case we need it.
not very clear that we place go, and after pondering for a while, we decided to go to Laguna de la Nava .


After breakfast in Barco de Avila, the cars we drive to the town of Nava del Barco, and here presents the first challenge, as our intention vehicles was continuing to Puente De La Yunta, but the road is completely covered by snow and ice and we can not, so leave them in the parking lot on the outskirts of town .


So we have to do a couple of miles on foot.


reached the bridge of the yoke, and tempers are high, there is snow and we hope to have a good day in the mountains .


Galingómez Gorge.


The first part of the march along a forest track we completely covered with snow, and we're taking advantage of the shot they have left behind some vehicles .


Here ends the track and came to the gate that leads to the path that will lead us to the Laguna.
The sun makes an appearance, the snow until now is in very good condition, hopefully all goes well during the whole course.


First stop at the shelter to take a piece of fruit and some juice.


continue to progress, there is much more snow than we thought and also that, in this area, much more soft and the conditions for walking on it are not the best .


Despite these drawbacks, we decided to go forward, and we have very close step to the other side of the throat, hopefully we can cross it without any problems .


As we approached the crossing, the weather conditions are changing, makes a lot of air, snow is getting worse and we're sinking much .


The progress is very slow, each step costs a world.


The weather has worsened and the throat passage is complicated, and who together decided to turn and retrace our steps .


Go back on track previously had done.


A little warm broth hurts no one (something good had to have this anonymous) .


closed the gate, and continue the journey, and come back another day at the Laguna de la Nava and better weather conditions.


Tempers are a little low for failing to our purpose, but do not you come down guys to me are the best .


And how could it be otherwise, it snowed but in this case the snow came down, that rare, a black hand.

AND RETURN TO LAGUNA DE LA NAVA.
