Al trouble, time passes and I still have many chronic tergivensante too long in the memory, and that's when they start to deform, since the passage of time makes the Chronicle take a form different from the original fresh and I think that the news must be fresh to be true to his own style.
Al mess, said there was a suicide bridge in the river Jarama. Had no eggs or logic to cross and had no time to turn around, the night was in a hurry. All were referred to shelters throughout the day were long gone.
So we had to stay overnight in the open. I can say that I slept only in the mountains, it is not an easy experience. I think it's easier to sleep alone in the Himalayas in the bush around here more than anything because it is expected.
When you're alone, it is night and you're in the field for the mind goes to work. And when he rolls up his mind and gives the wheel as often to think negative things than positive. And when they enter the funk. My main obsession was not seen or heard, not by people or by animals (I can go, but the aliens or the paranormal do not think). My main concerns were that I saw a ranger, a wounded boar or wild boar with their young mother pushed me to jump into the river or Matallana hippies came to rob me. Concerns now seem absurd, but at that moment anything is going through your head.
Despite the beating the day it impossible to sleep. I followed the rule of not looking to not scratch the phone to see that the hours passed and I continued eating heaven. I had a headlamp and I could make read or write but that contradicted my policy of not being seen or heard. Occasionally you could hear noises around animals I guess the bushes, then I moved to make noise and scare away visitors. I got into a very bushy area so if something came I hear coming. I also prevention to put the knife and a Piédrola in the bag, you never know in the world of predators and prey and the food pyramid. Top had millions of stars, shooting stars very often, shadows, sharp and dark profiles in the mountains of solid forgotten Ayllón, distant silence, the constant murmur of Jarama ... and occasionally a strange sound that repeated more than I would like to sleep, something that reminded me of an ax blow against a tree, or a large stone falling (unlikely at periodic sound).
Dawn.
And those I fell asleep, and in the cold end of the morning I woke up, I should not sleep much. Shivering going to drink the barrel of the bike and is frozen, and as I went to college, I know that means we are below zero. The weather was in the days but the morning dew and the temperature drop together and make your own. Then my father told me that the simple act of putting a newspaper or a plastic bag under it would have avoided raising the dead with cold.
Nothing like it had little to do to get out. And nothing more of it, impossible for the bike path full of thorns, so to repeat the first go with the bags and then return to the bike. After a while I find the noise at night: in a nearby hill there is a herd of goats, which are becoming of hosts including legs to stand, drop and galletazo in their heads.
Mornings I find it horrible, I just wish arrival of road or highway to go on the bike, sleep and hunger make you see everything worse than it is. Finally I get to Roblelacasa, and begin to enjoy a downhill road grateful, I get to look back on the saddle and see that I have no camera. Fuck. A come back for her, must have fallen among both hit on the rise. In the village people wonder if the camera has seen, and as I am to pull cock bike say about that save me please, I lost a camera and walking back to fetch it. Once I leave the bike look and see that the camera bag has been around and is under one of the saddlebags; step I take that explanation and get into the house and go running with the bike to I do not think badly of the roof. And I'm happy with the camera and looking forward to a village restaurant. It already losing streak.
Vega del Jarama.
I get to the same restaurant the previous day, and after a little grooming, coffee and tortilla sandwich and hours later I can go on with joy. I came again the reservoir of El Vado, I will follow the course of the Jarama valley to reach the one that is in this area. A beautiful place which, of course, took advantage of the friars and left behind a beautiful monastery which makes the story that survives in the monastery of Bonaval.
natural monument.
Cistercian ruins.
There I met again with the Jarama, and a few miles up Retiendas closed the circle.
