What Causes Pedal Oedema

Mambretti Refuge - 2.004 m - February 23, 2011 San Martin


Sitting in my kitchen before the tart with orange marmalade and Muscat are discussing what to do. Feather
the night we decided to go walking tomorrow, there is only so much wind ... wind!
Mario keeps us company tonight but only actively participates in choice when it comes out of the hut Mambretti agree with Julian that the area is really beautiful. I recommend it.
I swallow a toad does not make the top and that's fine, I trust my friends and accept the proposal and now on, all to bed!
Appointment usual Bione, Ristop usual breakfast and then down to Sondrio. We realize now that the wind is high and therefore we should not be much wrong then the goal.
arrive near the dam, go up a bit with the car yet, but we stopped at the bridge, put on your boots and we move to Agnedo where, in summer and by special permission, you can 'get with the machine .
I do not feel too fit today ... I still complain ... I'm excited because I know that Julian is fast ... but no, it is this: are not fit and just.
So much so that we get about an hour and a half to get to the dam.
And ... surprise here, but I here there are already!
I remember writing in that gallery ... but I'm quiet. Also because it was raining a lot ... but so much .... BUT BOTH! That memory is not text, for me it is still a new area.
We talk to the guards, asking the keys to the shelter just to look at (the time it will stay up there we will not even turn on the stove and knows, this season is colder inside and out!) and discovered that the track will find it only to Alpe Caronno, then nothing ...
Eh ... it will be hard to come up! It 'so much snow fall and there, with that delivered will be hard ... you arrive at the refuge ...
Those who continue to be discouraged is the undaunted guard: who wants company and lead us to stop them?
Well ... do not know Julian, who in fact does much attention to what is said and continued. I
behind.
I must be honest: today, very well behaved boy! He held my hand, I was encouraged at the beginning ... Yes, because nonostate is now a bit 'of time we know he has not yet realized that they are VERY slow ... slow carburetor ... but then I get my rhythm going.
In fact, you realize, just out of the woods, which are no longer enough business difficulties and proceed towards the goal.
As planned, after the Alpe tracks are gone ... we have to beat the beat track ... He touched the runway. Like a good hiking companion at some point I asked him if he wanted a change. As a good companion for trips I said no:)
When the snow was plentiful, powdery, 40 to 50 cm of soft snow where it sank and the slope was beautiful ripido, riuscivo a stargli davvero attaccata, al punto che ogni tanto inciampavo nelle sue ciaspole.
Quando poi abbiamo dovuto superare una slavina, quindi neve dura e irregolare … povera me … ma alla fine siamo saliti, abbiamo scollinato … ed eccola li, la piccola bomboniera del Rifugio Mambretti!
E' davvero in una posizione incantevole … peccato solo che non si veda il Redorta, uno dei miei nuovi tormentoni di quest'anno :)
La porta è semisommersa, Giuliano si mette al lavoro e dopo pochi minuti riusciamo ad entrare a dare un'occhiatina e a mettere il nostro adesivo sulla porta.
Usciamo di nuovo, per fermarci qualche minuto al sole. Siamo stati repaired enough by the wind, but here a little 'go and it's really cold!
We see two ski mountaineers who had before (we saw the tracks, have diverted to the bridge), which are rising in the channel Brumone.
We decide to go down. We know that you do not eat with Julie (dear grace that I was allowed the banana just before the dam!)
Now you feel the icy wind. Although the windproof jacket I miss my shell, I miss the hood when I shut completely when this air blows so cold but I do not think the case of stopping to cover myself. It should not last long in this situation to grit my teeth and go forward.
When I stop the chill descends to tighten the boots, then suddenly sunny and sheltered, and even a few minutes we stop for a drink and put your teeth a little bit of cake made yesterday evening.
The Lord of the dam is there waiting for us. He has a great desire to make 4 but we can not stop talking a lot.
I try to get off quickly, because if we get down early you could make a jump in the canteen of Mello's
But out of the woods, get on the road, not take it anymore. I take a great fatigue. I struggle, I am sorry but a big toe with the goal of a drug grit my teeth and go on. I finally
permission (he he he) to remove the sticks and then ... I run down! Ah .... that pleasure! Here you do not slip or sinks, is a way they do with the jeep so you can go fast so much so that Julian compliments:)
We arrive at the machine.
No ... we do not have time to go to the store ... ...
Sgrunt to have known before ...

Stop jelly however, a paninetto and ice cream.

Safari Invitation Wording

Ring (Square Hut) - 767 m - February 19, 2011 - Ascent Tecett - Descent Pizzetti


difficult week. Despite the expected time do not feel very nice to go away.
the proposals we arrive. What do I do? I'm so indecisive when I leave the choice to fate, I put just a prop: I do not drive more than an hour alone.
And so it ends, as I had already thought of this week, I'll go alone close to home. Better that way, not in the mood for entertaining. Then people get tired ... or ... if you do not understand the snout is better to be with yourself, the limit on one or two friends but nothing more.
not going away I get up quietly, calmly eating (Isi and I), fixing things at home, prepare the backpack and go.
Where? To see this trail is a loop that I am thinking for some time. I think I know where the path connecting the two points and I'm not worried even equipped to do the path downhill. Only
only sad and inconsolable. The day is amazing ... and I'm here instead of 200 m to 2000
Vabbeh, I keep saying, there will be more beautiful day when my head will work better.
Today I took the camera "bigger" and which, for the report, I thought of the photos with a description as to write here how to get there is a landslide.
As for the trail, I have not found much. If I do a lot better the ranking of Pizzetti Tecett. Both paths are kept really well, but the section on Tecett (moooooooooooolto longer) does not have as much room. We are always on the SS36 and rumore delle macchine si sente sempre in sottofondo. Il bosco è piuttosto sporco e stona davvero con il sentiero sempre ben tracciato.
Sempre ben tracciato: c'è solo un punto dove mi sono guardata in giro un po' perché non trovavo dove continuava.
E' inoltre una sorta si saliscendi, visto che attraversa il costone.
La discesa dai Pizzetti non è stata complicata. Ho usato a volte le catene ma solo come sicurezza.
Insomma, un anello senza infamia e senza lode.
Avevo voglia di farlo e l'ho fatto.
Non so se lo rifarei.
Una gitarella da mezza giornata.
Poi sono andata a fare la turista a Mandello. Una delusione … da quello I was told that the town I was expecting something more.
And then ... the ice cream to console Introbio (which seems to be the only ice cream parlor opened this season!), The good ... as always!
Isi ... then home ... and as someone has expressed a desire to see my big cat ... here it is!
