07 March 2012

The swirling of the swollen streams fell away; trees thinned and birdsong became sporadic. I was left sitting on my coat connecting cables in a high mountain pasture, no wind in the sky, time almost without external sound. Twice the soft snarl of a far-off chainsaw and once a jet tearing at the sky. I climbed from the clearing to the panorama at the rocky outcrop to find it empty. Down from the summit on the faintest of tracks I got lost then disorientated, fear lodging deeper with each stumble and deeper with each thorn snag until I heard voices.

01 March 2013

Sentieri 103 was marked by stripes of red and white, painted on boulders and on tree trunks. Little rock cairns occasionally appeared among the beech leaves. The sky opened up above the plateau – the highest point we had previously reached – and the light seemed telescopic, details shining and edges sharp. The treeline now below us, we pushed through the deepening snow, breaking an untrodden trail. I felt sweat between my shoulder blades, fatigue building in my thighs and thirst in my throat. I crushed snow into the neck of a plastic water bottle. Somewhere ahead an unseen bird of prey.
