Taurus - Recent messages

Same Taurus with wife to Mrežce; BRANČI, when I saw your pictures, I relived Saturday - bravo.

Only thing I disagree with is the road condition from turnoff to Kranjska dolina to the Monument. DESPAIR!!! Shame for maintainers, probably arguing or as usual all revolves around money.
Winter - Lipanca - Nice weather = RULE. And of course southern with zelenc at Jožet's.

The topic doesn't seem so entertaining to me as some forum members want to present it.
Snake sting or bite is not so innocent, especially not when all parameters for the black scenario are met (snake's age, temperature, amount of injected venom, distance to medical help, psycho-physical condition, tendency to allergies, physical resistance...)
Usually it's not bad, because there are several factors that reduce consequences (booted mountain boots or gaiters where most venom stays at bite, snakes ALWAYS try to avoid humans, snakes in our hills don't have such "strong" venom...)
Can be a big problem on Velebit
(personal experience).
SOS - try to squeeze as much
venom from the wound, above the wound a tourniquet (not too tight)
Lots of safety and pleasures in the hills.

Absolutely agree with branči and 66 regarding times on signposts on this wonderful tour, and also some marking on path from top via Calvary to Preval wouldn't hurt, especially in fog. On 14.10. with wife did tour Ljubelj - Preval
(1.15)-via Roža to Roblekov dom(3.30)-
to summit(1.30)-via Calvary to Preval(1.30)
Time from start to 1/3 Calvary(to forest) includes 50 DIA photos and multiple immeasurable enjoyment of views. Absolutely recommend said tour or path via Zelenica which is easier than via Calvary, especially in wet conditions (due to steepness slip risk).

15.09.07 Velika Koroška Baba

Ravenska Kočna(car)-Jenkova pl.-over ridge - incl V.Baba - Jezersko sedlo - Ledine - car.
7 hrs (with wife, 40 dia pics and sightseeing)
Extraordinary one-day circular tour (in my Top 5 here), extraordinary views, varied hiking-climbing, for mountaineering enthusiasts like us the upper level of effort (with reserve, of course).
But really needs extraordinary concentration and care crossing the ridge and ascent to Mala Baba. NOT for kids and less experienced.

The combination of both forecasts is almost winning:

With wife on Prisanku 08.09.2007, upper half of path (Slovenian or Southern route) unpleasant due to snow ca. 10-20 cm. Very carefully due to high slip risk.
