We drove some great white roads both sealed and unsealed;
great mountains with occasional snow covering the road. Drove past
two separate ski slopes with skiers. The first had 3 bus loads of
little kids out for a ski.
At
the Partisan hospital we had a walk along the track to the locked
gate and gorge. Would certainly be difficult carrying a stretcher with
no path to follow and at night….
Had
a coffee at the little cafe and headed towards Tolmin then south along the Green Soca river to Solkan and the longest span brick
rail bridge. By now we had 2 hours of daylight so headed East to a
gorge that looked interesting on the map. No river at it’s base but
was covered in sink holes of various sizes. Very interesting terrain.
We
are kinda of heading towards Idrija and the worlds second largest Mercury mine of 500 years.
We
were going via small white roads and found a side track to camp.
Another car was here probably a hunter.
The
hunter came by on dusk and with no language indicated that we should
not stay here because of police. I guess we’ll move on if they
come out here and move us on.
