The “Mountain Walk”

by sim1

On the evening after my first hiking day, I sat on a little bench just looking around and enjoying the sun. It is here that I noticed this local custom everyone seemed to have. It is best described as “The Mountain Walk”. The walk resembles the one of a goose, waggling from left to right. This “typical” movement is caused by blisters and the unavoidable “first day muscle pain” :-)Note 1: The smile (as seen in the picture) is mostly not present during the "Mountain Walk". This is often replaced by a more painful and worried look. Note 2: The photo has been taken for demonstration purposes only and is not a 'real life' situation :-)

The Confused Chicken

by sim1

Newcomers to the campground are a joy to watch as well. I would like to describe this behaviour as the “Confused Chicken”. Main characteristics are the confused look on their face, head sticking out forward, quickly moving from left to right, and back again. The newcomer moves over the campground in irregular patterns, clearly without having any plans, scanning the whole place in search for the perfect camping spot.
