Cold creaky (hike to camp Cimenti)

brrr ...

The ground crunches beneath your boots, numb with cold as my body slow to warm up the muscles. Cynthia, Fred and I left at eight this morning direct to the village of Illegio. Leave the car on a road bleached by the frost ice cold, to proceed on foot on the 433. The climb is steep, but the cold drives us to walk vigorously seeking to caring a bit 'of warmth. We reach the end of the trail already heated by the movement and from there we continue along a forest road that leads to the bivouac Cimento, our goal today. It is a convenient cart rarely covered by any stretch of frozen snow that runs in the middle of the woods naked, but it cures, soft and cozy. Among the various rumors and we get to share when we understand to be close to the goal we start to collect firewood, so uncomfortably cold to cool the palms of your hands. Finally we reach the sun that lights us and we happily to see the camp from above. The road ahead is still great, but only after a long descent and some are returned to the well-marked detour that leads to "Cimento". The camp, situated in a clearing in the middle of the forest, has been recently renovated, is charming and welcoming. A beautiful and functional fireplace promises to heat the room very cold, well represented by the ice covering the glass front door. Cynthia Faith and immediately lit the fire with wood that we brought with to no avail, because the forest is full of firewood and kindling. Through the glass door we can see the fire that heats the area around the stove. We sit around the source of the pleasant warmth and lunch, some with fresh mortadella and who, like me, with warm pizza left on the plate of the stove. How beautiful it is lost before the fire, pampering from its flames and embrace its warmth. Reluctantly, after visiting the wooden loft that can accommodate hikers for the night, we leave the warmth of the camp to take the long way home. The sky is deep blue and the lights are spectacular. So I take this opportunity to take pictures when my Canon g10 accidentally falls to the ground hitting the rocks. The recovery frantically, trying to remove the dust with which you are bedraggled to immediately see if it still works. At first glance, seems to have overcome the blow, but unfortunately There is a small scratch on the lens that is being noticed in some photos.

With regret unexpectedly peaceful walk ahead and decide not to go down the same trail, but to continue along the forest road to the car. The tour stretches a lot and at the end of the day we walked 17 kilometers . The course is frozen in some places and we must be careful not to slip: we wonder how they did it two jeeps that we crossed to overcome these traits. We get tired and shivering in the car, so we go back home enjoying the last light of day.

A walk to inaugurate the new year in the company of my two dear friends, to seal these beautiful winter break, during which I could spend more time with my little puppy with Ilaria and Matilda, two of my deepest joys.
