A view of the vast wildness of nature and enjoying the silence and isolation away from urban everyday life. The search for the unknown and the sense of freedom which is achieved only by sojourning in the wild.
Long journeys, enjoying the generosity of nature and meeting new places and people; that is the motive of the whole story about my interest in hiking, mountaineering and socializing with nature.
Just a little good will, a backpack, that view of the vast wildness of nature and enjoying the silence and isolation away from urban everyday life is enough.
Over the years, I have made many good friends who share the same curiosity and a desire to explore unknown paths.
I am happy for the time spent with people who extend their hand on a steep climb, share the last bottle of water, and are there when needed, but mostly get the same delights by just being in the wild.
Hiking can be more than just a longer walk and a test of endurance and fitness. It is walking with the purpose of exploring and enjoying the natural beauties.
Similar enjoyment can be achieved with easy hikes or more strenuous hikes, walking a few more miles which requires good physical condition. Sometimes it is necessary to climb steep mountain trails or to scramble among the boulders.
I’ve had the pleasure of organizing and leading disparate groups on our Friday’s Adventures for over 15 years. That’s a lot of miles, a lot of wonderful friendships, a lot of great stories and a lot of pictures.
I’m happy to share a slice of these.
There are many beautiful stories, memories and anecdotes from the adventures during all these years. There are few words that can describe it, so I’ve tried to forgather a part of my archives from many adventures to these pages.
This is a 2 part video of some of the hikes I led for the Las Sendas Retirees between 2005 and 2015.
