Sleeper Piercing Tension Earrings

Avis Valfloriana - Faversham WW II-III

*** Text of Mark, and Mark Trepanier picture ***

Not knowing where to go (the walnut is in 2 chance), we decided to try once again. Without moving too far from home, then decided to go for a stretch dell'Avisio that so far we have never attempted; in particular the stretch after the dam Stramentizzo, ranging from common to Valfloriana Faver .

We start with two cars, because the problem is logistics, and leave a landing, then we bring in Valfloriana. From here, through a forest trail that starts from the four winds in pizzeria Pradel, go down about 200 meters to the gate.

Once dressed, we're off. In the initial section there are some bridles, not navigable because of the scale is not excessive, but other than that, good start.
We then forwards in a canyon that will no longer have access with the "upper world" to the end: the river is characterized by rapid succession of amusing to which lakes, comfortable to rest.
The landscape is truly beautiful and wild - apart from the warning signs full, only indicators of the presence human in the valley - but with a little 'more water would be even better.

Fatigue is soon to hear, because some are quite challenging rapids, up to that after almost four hours and almost 17 km of navigation, we get a view of the Friendship Bridge at Faversham. From here, one last transhipped bridle, and we go down to the ground exhausted.
We are so tired that we turn even the word, however, changed and loaded paddles in the car, return to retrieve the other car to the 4 winds, where we allow ourselves a couple of Radler (for the record we had forgotten the water ...).

very nice, but you need at least 50-60 cm of water to make it entirely feasible (some zest to the canoe you see !!!).

Until next time,
Hello

What Size Is A Tech Deck Nut

Walnut Monclassico Cavizzana-WW II-III

*** Mark's text, photos kindly by www.extremewaves.it ***


We have not stopped kayaking, indeed.
now, at least one day each week to pitch and another on a river is a must, we just do not document the downhill due to lack of adequate photographic equipment, besides the conditions of water that does not often allow the pause "photographic."
Treppo Friday and I, along with the grade of Extremewaves Basto (our first kayak instructor) we finally faced a stretch of the river Noce new to us.
Monclassico We boarded with a Walnut at about 90, and we began the descent, so large, a few holes, but nothing too difficult to quickly Croviana, where they both do a nice bathroom :-).

During the descent, you just give us some advice for the Eskimo, and immediately upstream of the notorious rapids of the gorges and wooded holes 1000, landings and by-pass the line, to re-embark Terzolas (our point of departure for all the runs the Walnut last year).

From here to Cavizzana are big waves and lots of water, with Just a few number of shoots freestyle ...
We are happy because a little 'time to improve in every way: however, long route, great fun and a great desire to do more and better!

Following the pattern of the river Noce:

Noce Pellizzano-Dimaro


Noce Ponte Stori-S.Giustina


Basto Thanks to the help, advice and support, to the next!

Tie That Matches Pink

Soca, Slovenia, 23-24/05/09

*** Mark's text - pictures of Faith, Mark Trepanier ***


After a month on the run back with a post. Always kayak - now we have become addicted of - this time we made a detour on Soca, Slovenia.
starts on Friday afternoon and arrive at camp in Kobarid (ex Caporetto) at about 11 pm, and immediately put our tent. Cotti, go to sleep almost immediately.
The next day is a beautiful day, and as we have an appointment in the afternoon with the guys from 360 Mestre - which will go down with a stretch of river - we have all morning to make a turn around.
The area is very beautiful, wild and green. Basically it is a paradise for all kinds of sports, from kayaking to paragliding, from climbing to mountain biking.
decide back of a stretch of river to the waterfall Kozjak, spectacular, which forms a natural pool in a small canyon.

Unfortunately we do not have pictures of the descent, which still looks a little challenging, but fun (the part is from the bridge to Kamp Koren Kobarid 5-6 km to the south).

For dinner, buy some 'meat (the mythical cevapcici inevitable), and make a mega grilled along with 30 students of Mestre.

Day Wake Up lle 7 after breakfast, and then I Treppo and Max decide to go it alone on that stretch Čezsoča reaches the landing of Srpenica 2 (WW II - III).
The first part is quiet, almost a visit, so take advantage - as well as enjoy the view - to do some 'heat between holes, death and waves.
The second part is more vigorous, with beautiful stones and a restricted section that increases the speed and degree of difficulty of the River.

landing before the stretch of grade III-IV, which comes almost up to Kamp Koren, and we throw up the parking lot, where Elena is kindly to collect.
Hence, while Treppo decides to remake a piece of the same river with Elena and Max make their way to Bovec, I'm going back down to camp to help out with Federica to dismantle everything and load the car, after which we go back and Trepanier.

For lunch, a melon and a stroll down ' Alpin Action, a large super-nice shop provided!.

In the end, it's time to go home ... we go back in trip at 3, after a good beer in the square of Kobarid (very nice!).
