On Friday, based on Claudia's invitation to join an already established group and enjoy a good time in the mountains, I changed plans (and mountains) and talked my crew into going to Plaiul Foii and Piatra Craiului instead of Comarnic and Baiu.
We arrived there, dead tired, fairly early on Saturday morning and started hiking soon after. We were heading towards the La Om peak (2238m), hoping we would be able to reach the summit in good time, in order to be able to make it back well before nightfall and in time for the barbecue.
Despite the perfect day and perfect weather we eventually had to abort because the trail was unfit for the aggregate skill level of our group. Following the teachings of that sane, old principle which says "we start together, we come back together" we made our way back to home base very, very early. We aborted just above the place called "La Zaplaz" around 1700m, our home base at 7 Crai being just above 860 m high.
Another time, perhaps...
Overall our weekend was exceptional. Saturday night we had a good game of charades, good barbecue, good wine and great company.
The TTS for this weekend was without a doubt Gogol Bordello - Imigrant Punk
Sunday morning came too early, as usual. Before heading off I had enough time to play a bit of guitar while the others were playing cards, and chill in the sun in the process.
Although I did not take my bikes with me this time, I still managed to come back with 3 bikes on my roof rack as I offered to bring Laura, Alex and Silviu's "steeds" back to Bucharest in order to cut down on their travel time.
Some photos of the hike can be seen on Facebook.
