A bad weather prevision.

The Sun was shining when we left the mountain hostel at 7:00am. It was a very nice day, possibly the best day since we started our hiking route. The cow horn, a high peak near the refuge was our objective. Our group, whose components were the French man in the hostel, a tall and sportive woman, Elisa, my girlfriend, and I started the excursion.

At 12:00 am we were arriving at the cow horn. It was a critic point of the excursion. There we have to decide the rest of the route. The original idea we had was to continue to the Brave Horse Valley, where there was a very good hostel, but from the top of the Cow Horn we saw a cloudy and rainy weather in the walk to this valley. Because of that, we chose the other option. We turned on west to the Wuthering Lake Zone. Near Wuthering Lake there was another Hostel, it was smaller, and it hadn’t got hot water showers, but we chose it.

We started descending to the Wuthering Valley. In spite of its name, it wasn’t clowdy or rainy at first. The weather was sunny and warm, ideal for a good walk. But two hours later, about 2:00pm, the weather changed and it started to rain a lot. We where too far from the hostel, so we had to run a lot.

At that moment we run into a man, he looked so strange, but he guided us to the hostel. He said us that he was the guard of the hostel, and he was coming back there. He was responsible to take care of the animals in the area, so he was curing a brown bear. When we arrived there we heard on the radio : “ As it was predicted, the bad weather that was on the Brave Horse Valley during the morning traveled to the Wuthering lake on the afternoon.”
