Isilwanyana esilulayo esifanelekileyo sokukhetha ukuhamba
Izicathulo zeenyadi zithatha isikhundla esithakazelisayo kwiimveliso zentengiso zangaphandle. Ngokuqhelekileyo bajoliswe kulabo bahamba kwiimeko ezininzi ezomileyo, kwiingcingo ezinzima kakhulu kwizambatho ezingabonakaliyo kodwa bengadingi ukuxhaswa kwe-ankle epheleleyo.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ndisoloko ndifumana isidingo salolu hlobo lwento. Ndihambe inxalenye okanye zonke iindlela ezahlukeneyo zeCamino de Santiago eSpain, malunga neekhilomitha eziliwaka zonke.
Nangona uhambo ngalunye luye lwahluke ngendlela yaso, bonke babandakanyeka iintsuku okanye iiveki kwiindlela zokungcola, iindlela ezipakiweyo kunye neendlela ezinamala.
Ngaphambi kokuhamba kokuqala ukusuka eGanada ukuya eCordoba , ndachitha iiyure ezimbalwa kwisitoreji sangaphandle sendawo ndaza ndazinza kwi-Merrell Vertis Ventilator izicathulo zokuhamba. Ngaphezulu kwamamayela angamakhulu mathandathu ekuhambeni kamva, ndibagqithise ngaphandle-kwaye ndathengela elinye iqela ngokukhawuleza.
Emva kokutshabalalisa idilesi yesibini ngokunjalo, ngokuqinisekileyo ndichithe ixesha elide kunye nale mzekelo. Nanku amava am ngeenkcukacha.
Ubume beMpawu
Izicathulo zaseVertis zinomqolo ophezulu womoya ovumela ukuba umoya ujikeleze ngelixa unesibindi esingaphakathi kwamanzi ukuze uncede ugcine unyawo lwomile.
Ukumelana kwamanzi kuyinto enhle, kodwa kunceda kakhulu ukuba unqande iinyawo zakho ukuba ungabi namanzi emvula elula, izilwanyana ezingenanto okanye ezifanayo. Ngenxa yokuba izicathulo azifikeleli ngaphaya kokuphakama kwama-ankle, amanzi angaphumelela ngaphezu kokulula ngokulula.
Ndandinomncinci ngemini eqinile kuzo zonke iindwendwe ezide ndizenzile, kwaye ngeli xesha ndikhubekile kwindawo yam yokuhlala, izicathulo zamasokisi kunye neesokisi zazihlala zimanzi. Ukuba ufuna ukukhutshwa kwamanzi ngokupheleleyo, oku akukhethanga kakuhle.
Inye yinto elukhuni kwaye ibuhlungu, nangona ingabonakali kakhulu. Abagcini beetayibhagi be-rubber ngokuqinisekileyo banomsebenzi onobuncedo, kwaye kukho i-padding eyaneleyo ngasemva, emacaleni kunye nolwimi lweesanti ukufumana amanqabunga amaninzi kwaye uyabonkqoza.
Izicathulo zam ziba ngumbala obomvu obunobumba obunobumba obuhle, olungele ukuhamba ngothuli kunye nodaka yonke imini.
Uvavanyo lweLizwe Lwenene
Ndaqhekeza izihlangu phambi kweeveki ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ndihambe kwiCamino yam yokuqala, ikakhulukazi malunga needolophu kodwa kunye neendlela ezihamba ngeekhilomitha ezintlanu. Baye bekhululekile ukususela ekuqaleni, ngaphandle kweentlungu zonyawo okanye uphawu lwee-blister, kwaye iinyawo zam zihlala zipholile xa ubushushu bomoya bubungama-75 degrees F.
Ukuhamba kwam ngokubalulekileyo, nangona kunjalo, kwakunzima kakhulu. Izimo ezingapheliyo ziyahluka phakathi kwendlela, amatye kunye nokuthungca okukhunileyo, zombini isicatshulwa kunye nokuphazamiseka, kunye nokudlulela kwamanye amaxesha. Ngenye intsasa, emva kwemvula yobusuku, udaka lwaba ngumcimbi. Umhla wokuqala wawude kakhulu, ngaphezu kweekhilomitha ezingamashumi amabini, kodwa akukho suku oluqulethwe ngaphantsi kweekhilomitha ezili-15 kwindlela.
Izibhanti zazivela kwiintsimbi zombini kunye nebhola lenye inyawo emva kwexesha lokuqala, kwaye ndavelisa enye inzwane yam ngemihla embalwa kamva. Ngenxa yokuba imida ende ibandakanyeka, nangona, ndiyasola ukuba oku bekuya kuba yingxaki kungakhathaliseki ukuba izihlangu zimbethe. Emva kokuba ndifunde ukunyamekela iinyawo zam ngokubhinqa iimbini ezimbini zeesokisi kwaye ndizambathise eVaseline, andikaze ndibe nantoni na yeyona ncinane kunazo zonke.
Ngaphandle kwezi blister, izicathulo zazikhululekile kwiveki yonke. Ndinezinto ezininzi, nangona ndihamba ngamanzi angenanto okanye kwiindlela ezidaka.
Ingxaki yodwa endiyifumene nayo yayingaphezulu kwiindawo ezinamatye, xa i-sole egqibeleleyo ayizange inikezele ngokukhuselekileyo kwiindawo ezinqabileyo njengoko ndandithandayo. Ndineentlungu ezinyaweni ekupheleni kosuku ngalunye, kodwa akukho ukusika okanye ukutyumla.
Umphunga osezantsi yeSpain unokufudumala ukufudumala phakathi kwimihla, kodwa nangona xa umzimba wam onke usebenze isithukuthezi, ukudibanisa kweeseroki zee-merino kunye ne-vententi yokwakha kwi-Vertis igcinwe ngaphakathi kwezihlangu yomile kwaye ukhululekile.
I-Caminos yam yesibini kunye yesithathu yayininzi ixesha elide-ezintlanu kunye neeveki ezintathu, ngokulandelanayo. Bobabini babesimo somileyo ngokubanzi, nangona kwakukho iintsuku ezimbalwa zokukhanya ukuya kwimvula ephakathi.
Izicathulo ziqhutywe kakuhle, ziphethe yonke into ekuhambeni kweekhilomitha ngaphaya komgwaqo omkhulu ukuwela i-Pyrenees.
Inye yodwa yayigcina ingqongqo kwayo emva kwekhulu lokuhamba kweekhilomitha, nangona i-insole kunye nesemva kwezihlangu zaqala ukubonisa ingubo enkulu. Ukuhamba kwam ekugqibeleni kwimbini yesibili kwakuyi-Hadrian Wall Wall, enyakatho yeNgilani. Nangona begugile kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba ndiqalise, babesebenza kakuhle-kuquka imvula!
Isigwebo
Ngokubanzi, ndandonwabile ngakumbi ukuba ezi zihlangu zenziwe njani. Yingakho ndithenge enye yesibini emva kokugqiba iCamino Frances, kwaye ukucinga kwam akuzange kutshintshe emva kokugqiba iCamino isiPutukezi kunye neHadrian Wall Wall kuyo.
Ziyigugu kakhulu, kwaye zifanelekile uhlobo lokuhamba endikwenzayo. Ukuba ukhangele isihlangu esikhanyayo esingaqhelekanga esinokusingatha ibanga elide kwilizwe elitshintshileyo, kufanelekile ukuzama.
Kunconywe.
