At first glance, signs
-by Antonio Gómez Entrena
In the mountains, signs are not to be ignored:
When the weather forecast is clearly adverse for the whole week. Signal
Your friends fade from the list of participants. Signal
Access to the slopes has been closed due to an avalanche. Signal
You change the activity but the terrain is not suitable because the ground is muddy. Signal
Once you start the ascent of a small mountain, you will find small puddles which are getting bigger and bigger. Sign
On the road it is necessary to leave the road because parts of it are flooded. Sign
Finally you stop your ascent. A waterfall has formed on the path that prevents you from passing. Last sign
On the way back, you decide to stop for a bite to eat and see your partner, sandwich in hand, slip on a rock, fall to the ground and faint from the pain caused by the broken coccyx on impact. Evidence
Fastpacking is not about going faster. It's about going lighter.
If you come from classic trekking, this is the next step: learning to move with less weight,
more fluid and enjoying every kilometre more.
