25-26-27 first release in April ... "long" ... the adventure continues in Biella ...
... wow ... just returned from three days of cohabitation with the group Caving in now proudly am one, I will try to bring in a few words the experience and impression of those moments ... even if I state it now, it will be tough ... oh, if it lasts! For
not break too many balls to the multitude of readers do not caving enthusiasts (?! Multitude? ^ _ ^) Divide the day into three individual account for each post ... but I repeat all ... TRY THE CAVE AT LEAST ONCE ... it's worth it ... it is a purely sports are a deep level ... (and it is a play on words, eh?)
So, coming back to us, Friday 25 April, while some were preparing to celebrate the memory of Liberation while others were preparing to leave for a relaxing holiday weekend, a handful of ten heroes (not counting instructors), more and more like real human beings, and increasingly alienated from those quivering amoebae that we had the pleasure of meeting some weeks ago, meets at 9 am in Piazza Cavour, in Pinerolo ...
group departures ... the first positive note, that bodes well on the development of "three days" is the Husky machine ... barely be glimpsed the driver, submerged provisions, various food and beverages ... of course we talk about the typical, frugal and healthy diet caving: cheese, pasta, salami, e. .. WINE already ... we are ready ... Eureka!
After a pause
tangenzialesca to pick up Mark, "the infiltration of Turin" (but henceforth fully included in the group, both for capacity diattiche / cave, either, since much more essential for the dedication, respect and reverence that the bind in glove to his "guru", the brave Pejo ...^_^), continue at a time of Biella, where we aggregate the local Varallini Hector and Robert "Rube" and Manu ... damn, by this time I get labeled "the false Manu ... azz ...
's arrival in what will be our headquarters for the next few days is definitely a good omen, we are housed in the headquarters of the Group Caving in Biella (thanks again for the hospitality !!!), a warm (the former site of an asylum: that nostalgia, those services with ground-level basins, and cups of water so low that ... would need a good gym with a viewfinder ...^_^), domestic, but above all allows us to test the strength of our own "safety chain" jaw, jaw and stomach ... the test is hard, but we are equal: very little remains after we passed! !
Around 15 it's off to the gym ... the journey by car is nice, we climb to the BRIC near Biella, and pass through picturesque villages and very colorful ... arrival in the gym, after a quick operation of rig from our instructors / guardian angels (^_^... a bit 'of matchmaking on ...!!!), promises us a beautiful set of chords, changes, steps into the void ... a bell'aperitivo for the next two days, say so!
Up to 19.30 (my times are very approximate, because without my watch I can elaborate only on the infamous biological clock ... that unfortunately seems to be a sundial because it is not too accurate!), With agile and stealthy movements, indicating a great physical shape and an enviable prowess and athletic prowess - you present a monk seal off the water, not! - We practice on ropes and walls ... at the end of the day, tired but sodisfatti for the experience (we are far more practical and productive than the first Envie gym ... at this point I see the puzzled look of Hector, that he had never seen "in action", the fateful question ... "but if this is your best, how the hell you were before?" Wait, wait, you'll see that we will be even more awkward!! ^ _ ^) There appropinquiamo at the base, more than ready for the Grande Bouffe!
Pizzeria, here we are, the Pinerolesi Bats are here! Un'arsura worthy of the best Sahara brings us to drink as a herd, and the appetite, say that does not fail ... among other things for the first time Mark shows his reverence for legitimate wise mentor is the only to choose (as a sign of devotion!) pizza PEO ...^_^ For
estimated at around one hour at midnight we return to the den ... and here you close the day, we saw how tired .... but no!! After a quick game of Tetris to try to fix all the sleeping bags in the living room-kitchen, cooked and catered for the day, very good condition for a weekend "lions", close your eyes and ... you open the concert: purr multitone (the allocation of these pharaonic roars currently under investigation, so it will make rash assumptions ...) and mat a couple of damn squeaking Fashion / Andrea - each breath is transformed into a pleasant "Gnnniiickk-Croooock! " - Transform the night in a Saigon vibration ... at least for someone like me, sleep uncomfortably light ... or for someone like Rosie, is likely to indulge in homicidal mania to the snoring !!!^_^
A truly remarkable day, in short, from a purely technical point of view, from the landscape, but especially under the aspect of aggregation: the conditions are really good, this group will make it a long way! Revellers always, great! A
soon raconte the true highlight of this three days ....
Slan!
