Who is stealing Stanage; where have the missing rocks gone?

Could it be possible that these rocks in the left hand picture now

reside in somebodys rockery?

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of these rocks should return

The Picos de Europa:a Brief Introduction - Part 3

by Gaeron Davies

And now we have the last section of Gaerons article about the Picos.

The final walk of this trip tothe Picos De Europa takes us upto Vega Urriellu to spend sometime in the Central Massif and stayin the refugios.

Start at Poncebos by parkingas far up the road as you can.

The route we want is on the L anddrops down to the Cares river justafter a tunnel. Cross the Caresriver via a bridge go towards a hutand pass to its R to cross into thenext valley. The trail is nowobvious as it crosses a bridgeover the river Texu and follows itsE side to Bulnes.

After about 20min of ascentwith the river in the gorge below itmakes an appearance at yourlevel before you again climbabove it. Keep climbing on a goodtrack and in a further 40min somebuildings high on a cliff a little wayahead come into view. Soon youwill again be at the same level asthe river with Bulnes Arriba

( upper Bulnes) looking down onyou from its cliff top perch. At the bridge continue without crossing the river and a fewmins later, after passing the discreet entrance to the Funicular railway buried in themountain, Bulnes (650m) appears on the R.

The funicular was built in 2001 to link Bulnes to Poncebos via a tunnel hiddeninside the mountain. Prior to the building of this funicular the trail was the only route toget goods and animals to and from the village. Improved access has led to therenovation of many of the buildings and an increase in tourists, but the village hasretained its grey stone buildings with red tile roofs and looks almost unchanged.

As you pass Bulnes there is drinking water on the L. Continue slightly L to climb

through woodland up the valley. (There is a more direct trail to Urriellu which goes onthe other side of the river, but it is not an easy trail.) As you carry on gaining height theview of the river comes and goes in the valley below until you eventually cross it andlater cross back again. By now you are half way up and soon the woods give way to

The walk up to Bulnes


6/17


open pasture and the remains of some majadas. In 1hr30min from Bulnes you arrive atthe col of Pandebano (1200m), a wide green rolling crest with goats, sheep and cattlegrazing.

If you only have oneday available and want tosee Picu Urriellu at close

range then cut out this firstpart by heading for Sotresand up the ziz zag track topark at Pandebano. Then

join the walk at this pointand return here the sameday.

At Pandebano go Salong the col and then W ona path which is steadily

gaining height as it passesbuildings and a refugio atTerenosa. In an hour or soat a gap in the rock the pathturns a corner to head S

and give you a view of Picu Urriellu, a 500m high slab of limestone rock with an orangetint, particularly at dusk, which gives it its other name Naranjo be Bulnes, the orangetree of Bulnes or orange thing of Bulnes. It is probably the best known mountain inSpain with 40+ of the premier climbing routes.

The track is now narrower and clings to the rock to emerge on more open groundand a long zig zag up to the vega Urriellu (1950m) a glacial valley from the quaternaryperiod. This is reached in about 6hrs from Poncebos, 3hr from Pandebano.

Sitting at the foot of Picu Urriellu is a 2 storey building and the largest refugio in thePicos with 100 places but its completely dwarfed by the bulk of the Picu towering overit.

The quickest return to Poncebos is by reversing the outward route, but if you havetime stay and explore this part of the Picos. There is an almost infinite choice but hereare some suggestions:

1. a day (or two) in the Torre Cerredo area.Take a path going W and away from refugio to go NW and climb steadily to a

chimney and a straight forward scramble to the ridge of Neveron de Urriellu 2250m.Contour past its N face to Horcada Arenera and head for the jou which you crossSW and exit R at a col. Here you are in the centre of a crescent of 10 peaks of over2500m and in front is Torre Ceredo, at 2648m the highest in the Picos. After a dayhere have another night at the refugio.

2. head for the Fuente De area

Go S from therefugio over the Jou deLos Boches (2100m)and climb assisted bya fixed cable to the col

at Horcados Rojos(2350m). The peak ofHorcados Rojos(2500m) is an easyascent from here if youare so inclined. Belowis the odd sight of agun turret from a USaircraft carrier put herein 1961 and used as a

refugio CabanaVeronica ( 3 places).The cable car atFuenta De is 2hrs

away E. There is another refugio here. Or continue for 1hr NE beyond Fuenta Deover Horradina de Covarrobres (1900m) to the refugio at Aliva. The following daydescend the Duje valley, starting on a glacial moraine then passing thorough a largemajada Vega de Torro to arrive at Invernaderu de Texu in about 4 hrs on thetrack which was seen after Sotres on the last walk. From here climb the zig zag toPandebano


8/17


After 2hrs you reach Bulnes Arriba, castle like on a high cliff. A path on the N sidedrops directly to the river at the bridge which was passed on the way up. An alternativeis to exit S on a steady gradient to Bulnes itself and have a look at this isolatedmountain village where there are places to eat.

The descent to Poncebos takes about an hour from Bulnes and is one of the mostscenic areas in the Picos. As you follow the narrow valley there is a fine aerial view of

the route ahead with those rugged peaks rising steeply to both sides and falling equallysteeply to the river below. There are lots of flowers and trees to look at plus a fewgoats on the path and probably eagles overhead.

A perfect reminder of the Picos - until next time.

Trekking in the Thethi

NationalPark of Northern Albania

by Loraine Wilson

Chapter 1 of 2

Why choose to go to Albania ? Well, its like this:-Most of my work in mountain trekking was in the mountains of Greece: the Pindos

range on the Albanian border, but also in the Mani and in Crete. Back in the 1980s,before economic migrants came (legally or not) from just anywhere, it was Albaniansthat we encountered in the countryside skilled stone masons, shepherds assistants,olive pickers and the like. You could tell them apart from the locals because they weresmall, skinny, had bad teeth, kept their heads down, and had the habit of avoidinglooking you in the eye.

Time moved on, Greece joined the EU, Albania threw off its dictator and Greecelooked more willingly on foreign workers because, as farmers would say, sincechildren no longer help their parents, we couldnt manage without them. I was working

mostly in Crete by then.Roads in the White Mountains of Crete provide access to some work stations buthigh mountain grazing is such that shepherding still goes on far beyond the roadheads. Needless to say, even apart from low status Shepherding as a profession,being stuck up in the mountains for a couple of weeks at a time is not acceptable to theyounger generation. Fortunately for the locals Albanians willing to work in shepherding,see this as an opportunity because village police with their immigration checks do notchase them beyond a road.

When I was crossing the mountains again in 2007, it was one such youth that Iencountered as I headed for a stone-built bothy I knew while my companions put up

their tent nearby. My mattress had succumbed to thorns from the nuisance plant,Thorny Burnett that grows up there. My bag was at its warmth limit (if that) and myotherwise breathable bivi bag had been clogged up with encrusted ice each night.

The Albanian lad, named Yanni by the locals, was about 19, lithe and well made,but thin as youd expect especially with that lifestyle of not being allowed to kill a sheepfor food. Instead, like all shepherds, he carried a just in case shotgun in the hope ofgetting a hare, a chukker (partridge) or a Kri-Kri. The Kri-Kri is a mountain Ibex,unique to Crete and nowadays seriously protected, that probably arrived, as a domesticgoat, during the Neolithic period. That it should have survived on a Mediterranean

island all this time is due to its climbing ability on the inaccessible high crags of theGorge of Samaria, the east rim of which happens to be very close to this particularbothy.

Oh, Yanni you must not shoot the Kri-Kri (huge fines, prison sentences).Why? he asked in amazement. How am I to explain rare breeds and rare genes tosomeone like this, who hasnt seen the world, and wants to eat meat for a change? Healso knows any shepherd up there may shoot a Kri-Kri when no one is looking. on itgoes, I thought, because this is also Sfakiot territory (the local tribe) and no-one tellsSfakiots what to do (as it were) in their own mountains particularly when it comes tohunting.

This bothy has two distinct rooms. Id set myself up in the best one for touristsand as he took the cartridges out of his gun and hung it up he said rather kindly Dontbe afraid, you are my mother (limited Greek between us). His father had marriedagain after the death of his mother and I do not even have a photograph of her hesaid, bitterly. Horrors, Albania! - What a place and its even in Europe.

Moving on again, from such memories and encounters, in 2011 two UK Adventureoperators started trekking in Albania, using the Thethi National Park on the Montenegroborder. There was even a good 1:50,000 German map showing many reclaimedtraditional routes near to, or crossing, the border. This region of the Dinaric Alps is

particularly challenging for freelance trekkers because it is so sparsely populated andtherefore short on facilities. However, commercial treks need road access and suitableaccommodation points and these are increasingly found inside the National Parkboundary.

Several club members had used KE of Keswick, and found them good, so Ithought Id try them out. Their Operations manager showed me pictures, including oneof a snake which was used, I think, to test viewers reaction (bad sign that, but...). Iread Edith Durhams High Albania. This is a well written, jaw-dropping account of hertravels, extraordinary adventures, and observations in those mountains in 1908, whentribal customs and rivalries between districts and valleys made it too dangerous for

normal travellers. It wasnt Africa - although it sounded like it - so few have heard ofthis Edwardian explorer who was one of those intrepid women who hire what we nowcall a fixer as a guide and protector, and get through when other travellers are simplymurdered. And not only get through, but also find themselves as curiosities invited tostay as guests by local chieftains. The dominant tribal custom in those days wasextremist blood feuding between surplus males. (Women appear to have had sub-human status and were therefore left out of it, their grief no doubt ignored.)

Edith Durham got to the valleys of what is now the National Park when the onlyaccess was by mule track over high passes. Today, dirt roads will get you there fromShkodra town (north of Tirana and its airport) but even now these two deep valleys, the

Thethi and the Valbona, are still linked together only by mule track. Far downhill southfrom Valbona is Lake Korman, a man-made reservoir so long and narrow that it hasthree dams along its length. Built in the 1930s, it provides the whole country withelectricity. Commercial trekkers approach the National Park via the Boga valley, and

- 9 -

then leave from the Valbona, taking, as a big short cut, a three hour ferryboat ridealong the reservoir to re-join the main road back to Skhroda.

Night one (in a fascinatingly quiet hotel nothing on the road), and our guide,Armand Jegeni, a young mountaineer/mountain biker (www.iRideAlbania.com) fromtrekking sub-contractors Outdoor Albania, attempted to describe our itinerary whichwas difficult because, oh heck, it made no sense at all. He was obliged (by KE) to take

us over an old transhumance pass (Sheep Pass) to enter the Thethi valley from thenorth. Thereafter, we would, in theory, walk up and down that valley three timesnorth/south before finally walking over to Valbona. (My fears confirmed, commercialtreks arent good value; young things in offices dont know what they are doing, and soon... except that, my fault, I should have got hold of the map before booking)

Deposited, by mini-bus from Skhodra, at the trailhead, we dived into the villagecaf for refreshments. On the back terrace they had made a fine new shower room.The landlady appreciated our admiration. Her quaintly unbecoming traditional Albanianhair style with head band made her look like the Apache chieftain, Geronimo. A former,probably illegal, migrant worker to UK piped up that hed had a nice time working in

Chichester.We filled our bottles at the village spring and then we were off up to Sheep Pass

at first passing through marvellous mixed woodland. Above the woodland, meadows inamongst karst formations formed the sheep-grazing territory of an elderly couple wholived there during the summer months in their stone bothy. They were the only peoplewe met still doing this, so absolute has been the population exodus from of thesemountains. (During 40 years of Stalinist, and then Maoist rule, up to 1992, Albanianswere not allowed to re-locate around their own country).

I was in the rear of the group, and didnt have to hurry because two people were

slower than me. This is fine except one misses interesting things a guide may have tosay when he is with the faster walkers. He had lots to say because we had on trekPheobe Smith, features editor of Trail. In this instance she was assigned to write anarticle for Wanderlust. With her hair permanently (she said) dyed in black and whitestripes shed been called a Cotton Tail (some sort of Raccoon?) by Texans on theflight out. Most tourists in Albania are middle aged Americans but those I sat besidewere retired teachers who came annually to teach in remote villages. This year theywere going to the northern mountains for the first time. They wondered what the foodwould be like in comparison to that of southern Albania which is culturally and

geographically nearer Italy

than Austria.Armand set up our

picnic on top of the pass,where, perching on jaggedrocks, you could see whatcame next, which wasasteep and narrow descent,over vegetated scree, of atleast 500m to the valleybelow. On the almost

precipitous slopes eitherside of the pass huge andancient Macedonian pinesgrew, at this altitude of

1600m (5250ft) whilst high above, completely bare, jagged ridges presumably dividedvarious deep valleys one from the other.

All that remained of the old transhumance trail was but two logs at the very top,fixed as arises to former mule track steps. I wondered just how old they actually were.I got my picnic and sat on a small patch of grass beside a great rock. It turned out thatthe path went around that rock, but next thing was, one unfortunate trekker tried to

climb down to it from her viewpoint spot. Yelps of fear, panic and shock came frombehind the rock, which some of us rounded, to find her lying white-faced and bashedafter having somersaulted down to the path over jagged rocks.

Armand, clearly well trained in First Aid, set about checking her limbs, jaw boneand wrists for fractures, and patching her cuts with Steri-strips. That done, falling rocksfollowed his scramble up a nearby rock needle. Perched up there to get a mobile fix,he booked a place for her in the only car leaving the valley that day and he warned therelevant hospital to expect her. Dont worry about the queue, they will always treat atourist before any locals he assured her. We heard later there had been variousaccidents amongst trekkers in the park probably because it is mainly middle aged

walkers who come on trips like this. Middle aged walkers obviously do best with middleaged guides who understand them, but in a country like Albania, recreationalmountaineering is, after all, very new.

We now had to get down off the top of the pass. At first, erosion had left almostnothing to hang on to except Armand as he balanced precariously over the drop butone by one we made it. (What a total shambles if we had not). Now passing hisrucksack to one of the men, he then piggy-backed our white-faced companion (120lbs)all the way down 400m to the road, the underfoot loose and steep throughout. Later Iasked him if hed been in Special Forces since they are trained to carry huge weights

but his answer was Absolutely Not! Later on he mentioned that his father had beenAlbanias track and field sports Olympic trainer during communist times. A top job nodoubt and so no weedy underfed, bad genes young man this, but Austrian-educated,and tall, strong and well-made.

The rest of us picked our way down, I on my trekking poles, glad I wasaccustomed to limestone because this, so steep and with all its loose rocks, was thetrickiest long descent Id seen anywhere, and that includes Oman. We heard later thatKEs operations manager had been shown the view from Sheep Pass, but had thenreturned down the way she had come up! Down at the road the others were waiting forthe slow brigade, having seen the lady off to hospital. There had been no room in the

car for her husband to accompany her, not that, strangely, he had been of anyconsequence throughout, so off shed gone on an Albanian adventure of her own.

Armand, however, had organized everything as far as he could, and she was deliveredback to us next day all patched up and wrist in plaster. The doctor had told her that thescars from her cuts would have been much worse if Armand had not applied Steri-strips immediately after cleaning her wounds. (Interestingly, the application of Steri-strips by amateurs is apparently not allowed by travel insurers).

Maintenance Meet August 2011

- 11 -


12/17


Many thanks to the thirteen people who turned up to the maintenance meet, whichonce again was held on the Thursday and Friday prior to the Bank Holiday weekend.

Although the hut had been deep cleaned in the spring, we still found lots of work todo, including those described below.New sliding shutters for the coal bunkers were made, to replace the old ones which hadpractically disintegrated. The trees around the car park were cut back and we

managed to burn all the smaller branches and cut up the larger ones to use on theopen fire when they had dried. At that time of year, the grass had grown a lot and so itwas all strimmed and raked, and some weedkiller was applied where necessary.The kitchen was given a thoroughcleaning and the cutlery drawers were cleared of theexcess duplicate items. Much of the paint on the walls throughout the hut had somedamage and so a lot of it was touched-up but sometimes complete walls neededrepainting. When the hut refurbishment was carried out, the kitchen windows werereplaced, but they used un-plated steel hinges, which had seized-up and so these werechanged to hopefully non rusting brass ones.We removed one of the glass panels of the secondary double glazing in the living

room, in order to clean the inaccessible surfaces. Unfortunately, the pane broke as wewere refitting it which necessitated a trip to Penrith to get a replacement. Luckily wewere able to use Martins campervan, which had a flat surface to transport the newglass. Leaking gutters were repaired and broken downpipe clips replaced.The two storerooms were cleared of all the rubbish that had accumulated recently.Upstairs in the dormitories, the blanket cupboards were sorted out and the excessblankets were bagged for taking to cloth recycling. The drying and entrance roomswere swept out to remove the accumulated dirt and then washed. The washroom wallsand floors were as usual given a very necessary cleaning, but we now have storage

heaters and extractor fans in these rooms. I hope that in future, these will reduce thecondensation and resulting mould and decrease the amount of maintenance required,and also make them more comfortable to use in winter.The weather being dry, it was a good opportunity to repaint a lot of the gloss white paintboth inside and outside the hut, since it was quite a time since some of it had beentreated.I am sure that there were many other things that members cleaned, repaired orrepainted at the maintenance meet, because in spite of the things that outsidecontractors do, there always seem to be plenty of tasks to keep us busy in order tokeep the hut in good order.
