[QUOTE="VNwalking, post: 680089, member: 38350"] That's a [I]mountain,[/I] [USER=82399]@Travelite[/USER]! [USER=82399]@Travelite[/USER] you had an incredibly difficult day, and I'm so glad all was well in the end. It's really good you've posted your story, because there are lessons in it for all of us. What jumps out for me are the underlined bits of your story (above). Walking in the dark without knowing exactly where you are going can be a recipe for disaster, as you found out. 'Everyone' says that you can walk the Frances without a map or GPS and that's generally true. But in the dark, at a place where there are several options, having a decent map and paying attention to it are important safeguards. And when you don't know for sure where you are,[I] don't just keep going, [/I]especially if the terrain is getting dicey. You're not the only one who's ever come to grief from doing this: I have my own story like yours (without the broken wrist:eek:) and I bet many others here do, too. So if you're lost or just uncertain, it pays to back-track [I]right away[/I] to the last known waymarker rather than waiting until you're much farther amiss. There's an invisible fine line between an 'Interesting adventure' and a preventable tragedy. [/QUOTE]
