Once more up the Loma de Jabalí in search of prey. No joy this time, but none the less a splendid and well deserved walk. Traced a round trip by leaving the car above Pórtugos, then climbing up the ridge on the left hand side of the Rio Bermejo, above the waterfalls, trekking through the pine forest and eventually leaving the tress behind at the top of the Loma and catching a glimpse of the high Sierra Nevada all covered in snow. Had to trudge through a few snow pockets ourselves, but not as much as the last time I was up here. From there we walked up the valley of the Rio Trevelez, heading north for awhile. She found an alberca to go swimming in and didn't seem to have any reactions to the fact that it can only have been one degree above zero. Once we hit the forestry track we turned to hike back towards Pórtugos and where the car had been left. Just as the snow started to fall once more I caught a scent of a wild boar and off I went. Didn't catch it but gave a good chase. The tall ones didn't seem so pleased when I reappeared 20 minutes later.
Enjoying this cold snap by the fire side,
Fergus
