Thanks: I wish to sincerely thank the people who made a financial donation to the sweeper of the summits. You have surprised and deeply touched with your actions. THANK YOU! Just thinking about it, I get chills ... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your support and encouragement! You give me wings! THANK YOU! I'll be able to offer new videos, I hope you enjoy! While waiting to replace my camera, I borrowed one.
Next cleaning: MountainRiders The association organizes an annual spring cleaning of ski resorts. This year I'm sponsoring this important initiative. Join this effort the weekend of 23-24 May For more info: http://www.mountain-riders.org/_ramassage/index.php
EDELWEISS project: I still work for this project takes place in 2010 over a period of 5 years. The research sponsor is currently negative. I continue my research. I think and dream every day of this project, and interventions in schools. I will not give up! Below, edelweiss I saw last week. What happiness!
Mt Aspiring: Last week, I was to climb a beautiful mountain. Above, you could see the photo taken at the top. I met other young climbers on the mountain that I climbed! It was very nice. Now I show you what it's like this mountain. Enjoy these perfect lines!
Walking to the beach, I, again, violently twisted his ankle with other torn ligaments. I realized then that I came to "destroy" all my chances to go back in the mountains before the end of the year. Now, surgery is required!
Imagine with me that I am now in a deep crevice, dark bluish color. I have my Mountain Hardwear jacket to keep me warm. It will take me forever to get out, and to walk again and sweep the tops PATIENCE ... so until March 2009.
Before the accident, here's where I was:
After the accident, I needed to "magic" so I took the altitude ... see the video!
There is a saying: "causes the chance!" the cause, it simply means to move, to do something, to leave home, talk to people ... That day, I waited 2 hours in the open air to watch penguins Hoiho (very rare and at risk).
The penguins are very shy and very sensitive to the "inconvenience". We do not see that far, about 70m, from strategic platform built for tourists, so they do not go bored (and here I will use even another word "emmer ...") the penguins, some Commes selfish and ignorant tourists know how to do ...
That day, thanks or because of a seal, a penguin was diverted from its usual path, and came face to me for 15 minutes ... I did not move, either, he dried his feathers before going to bed for the night. It was magical! What happiness! An unforgettable moment that makes me smile whenever I think about it ...
The mountains are very attractive, and discover while cleaning is my passion, but with a sore ankle, it is much less pleasant!
So I went along the southeast coast of the South Island of New Zealand. I stopped in different places to discover the coast and its beaches ... During these walks, I collected the waste dumped by the sea on the beach ... Almost every place I found waste ... the harsh reality of "human paradox" hit me full force, but a little later, I met a seal, sea lion or even penguins (or penguins?), which delighted me and made me smile! It's really magic every time I meet mammals marins.L intensive agriculture is the main danger to the marine mammals in coastal New Zealand women.
Preserve our planet we preserve these animals. They were quite right to live in a clean and healthy environment! Do not throw your garbage in nature!
I took my vacation down south to see the Mt Aspiring National Park. The weather was perfect, but my ankle was not ready yet unfortunately ... always responsive (even with a strapping)! So I changed my goals and ambitions in order to limit the "breaks".
There really is very little waste in New Zealand. Each time, I am pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the trails ... very different from the Alps!
