Sweet longboards of Series 1 by Boardeli. Along with the video below it almost made me want to get one.

So it’s not all about dogs around here… I refuse to post a photo of a beautiful Krasevec / Sarplaninac mix with Triglav in the background ;)

View of Studorski preval (1892m) from Visevnik (2050m)

More in the hills section of the gallery.

Simply picking them up on Pokljuka would have been boring (not to mention lazy of me) so I decided I’d meet them somewhere half way between Pokljuka and Vodnikov dom (Vodnik hut). When I got up to Visevnik it was still very early so I took off my shirt and boots to let them dry off a little while I take some photos.

Although I normally tend to avoid carrying heavy stuff up hills (or anywhere else for that matter, I learned my “travel heavy” lesson a while ago) I decided I’d bring my 70-200 lens along anyway since I expected some distant views (of Triglav etc.) With it I was able to spot and correctly identify the group still a long way off, across the valley on Studorski preval (Studor pass).
Then after some 30min I got up on my already slightly blistered feet and continued down to Srenjski preval and around Mali Draški vrh to meet them, then we walked right back up and down the same way I came. Other than an innocent slip and fall by one of the girls that resulted in her helmet tubling down into the valley below (but not her) and a deer sighting there’s not much more to report. Well… maybe I should mention the nice cool temperatures up there, especially compared to the oven a.k.a. Ljubljana. You might want to ponder on that if you’re stuck in the city like I am today ;)
