夏空の42.195キロ(徒歩日本縦断#8)

8日目の今日は小平町のバス停で起床

今日は朝から悩んでいた

というのもここから札幌まで行くルートを

日本海側の海岸ルートをとるか

内陸ルートをとるかで悩んでいた

本来海岸ルートの方が近いのだが、去年自転車日本一周の時にアップダウンの連続とトンネルの連続に苦しめられたのを覚えていた

リヤカーも引いて歩く旅ではとにかくトンネルは1番の強敵だ。最悪死の危険もありなるべく避けたいのが本音だった

なのでタクマと相談して遠回りだが内陸を通って札幌まで行くルートを選んだのだ

天気も回復し、早朝出発する。

今日は初めて40キロを超えて歩き北竜というかっちょいい名前の町を目指す。

そうと決まればうかうかしていられない。

早歩きでまずは8キロ先の留萌の町へ

今日の足の調子はすこぶるいい。

疲労もなければ、悩まされてきた左足首も痛くない。「歩く」という行為に慣れてきたのであろうか

歩き始めてすぐに留萌市に入って

それから2時間かからず留萌駅へ

留萌駅から今日の目的地はまずは低い山を越える。ここからはコンビニもなければお店が何もない内陸のルートだ

道に咲くノラニンジンの花が揺れる

飛び回るモンシロチョウはノラニンジンから生まれたみたいに同じ色をしていた

北海道の夏の道端に必ず咲いているこのノラニンジンの花はどこにでもあるが、とても好きな花だ。今日もどこかを旅する旅人の通り風に吹かれてふわふわと安全を見守ってくれている気がする。

山道に入っても傾斜はほとんど無く、緩やかな登り。2人とも軽快に歩みを進める。

最初の方は1時間に1回は休憩を取らなければ歩けなかったが、最近は2時間から3時間に1回に伸ばせるようになった。もちろん歩調が落ちるわけでは無いので自然と歩ける距離も伸びている

昨晩までの雨で川の水はどこも濁っているが、青空の下だとそれでも映える

まるでアマゾン川を旅している気分だ

北海道の短い夏の日差しを浴びて

2人の歩調は落ちることなく進んでいく

いーい青空だなぁ

ツクツクボウシの鳴き声が遠くで聞こえて、思わずイヤホンを外す。

「セミの鳴き声、北海道で聞くのは久しぶりだなぁ」

イヤホンを外すと身体全体が夏になった

目から、耳から、肌から、鼻から、

夏が全身に飛び込んできた

ほらまた飛び込んでくる

田園風景。稲穂の揺れる音。漂ってくる田んぼの匂い。

幌糠という集落を過ぎると、目の前から三台のバイクが大きな手を振って飛び込んでくる

この人たち、実は去年ライダーハウスで一緒になって以来仲良くしてもらってる人たちなのだ。水玉のシャツの人は、覚えている人は覚えているだろう。例のハーレーの兄貴。

今年もまたこうして北海道で会うことができた

わざわざツーリング中に遠回りして会いにきてくれたのだ。

やっぱりライダーさんはカッコいい

というか俺が出会うライダーさんに恵まれているというのが正解かもしれない

兄貴たちにはレッドブルとポテチを差し入れしてもらって、気合いをかちこんでもらった

この時点で既に30キロに達するほど歩いていたが、なんだか元気が更に出てきたようだ

そして今日1番の峠越え。

峠越えの最中はひたすら道沿いの木でクワガタを探す。進むのがとことん遅い歩きだから出来ることだ。

今日はミヤマクワガタのオスを見つけた

リアルぼくのなつやすみをしております横石

峠を無事下ってから待っていたのは

ひまわり畑。

実は北竜町はひまわり畑で有名らしい。

今日の目的地である道の駅のすぐ近くのひまわり畑が有名だが、道沿いいたるところにひまわりが咲き乱れていた

夏の暑さにも負けずに上を向くひまわりはなんだか元気をもらえる

ひまわり畑を見ながら山を抜け田園地帯に入ると

今度はツイッターで繋がっている方に声をかけてもらえた

どうやら宗谷岬を目指しているらしい

ツイッターで繋がっているだけなのに、こんなどでかい北海道で出会えるなんてやはり旅には不思議な縁がある

そして気づけば夕暮れ

だいぶ歩くことにも慣れたようで、約42キロを夕方6時前に歩ききった。疲労もそこそこに今回初めてと言っていいほど足の痛みもなく(筋肉痛を除いて)歩き切れた

歩けば歩くほど出会いが増える旅

いつかぴったり42.195キロ歩いてみたいと思ったりもした。いつか…

歩行距離 42キロ

北海道小平町→北竜町

総歩行距離 252キロ

  • Scotland is undoubtedly a really beautiful nation, as well as every year it is actually explored through crowds of visitors from the United States, France, as well as also Italy or even Spain. I can certainly not withstand the perception that Poles come listed here mainly for job. Barely any individual taking leave of absence in July, August or September will consider Scotland. Due to the fact that of the costs that are actually certainly unfriendly for some vacationers, possibly it is. On the other hand, the property of Nessi and guys in kilts is undoubtedly worth a longer or even brief experience. Maybe it is really good to believe concerning it at this moment, when the value of the pound is actually falling, and hence we will pay for much less for a vacation in Scotland? Glen Affric in early spring Why is it worth it? Scotland is actually predominantly a terrific landscape in the north of the country. Highlands– hills covered along with lawn and also louises, deep-seated lochs (lakes), a remarkable coast product line, glen (attractive valleys), and also most importantly, hardly discovered in Europe (particularly in Scotland!) wilderness, where we are going to certainly not find a solitary property. Space, room as well as space once more! Wild attribute, an abundance of plants, birds and other animals wait for nature enthusiasts. In Scotland, I have actually presently had the ability to view seals, dolphins or perhaps deer. Scotland is also a traditionally interesting land (who checked out Brave Heart?), Where you can easily check out impressive rock fortress (Edinburgh, Stirling, Linlithgow, Eilean Donan). The capital on its own, the magnificent Edinburgh, also deserves focus, specifically during the summer season festivities. nation Scotland, scottish Scotland, app Scotland, conservative Scotland, relevant information Scotland, scotland Scotland, our team Scotland, edinburgh Scotland, child Scotland, creed Scotland, chart Scotland, iona Scotland, food selection Scotland, trip Scotland, data Scotland, record Scotland, auto Scotland, ship Scotland, uk Scotland, learn Scotland, celtic Scotland, glasgow Scotland, shetland Scotland, society Scotland, tay Scotland, bus Scotland, updates Scotland, education and learning Scotland, little bit Scotland, navigating Scotland, biscuit Scotland, covid Scotland, sporting activity Scotland, accessibility Scotland, videos Scotland, highland games Scotland, community Scotland, golf Scotland, scots Scotland, food items Scotland, whisky Scotland, finances Scotland, visitscotland Scotland, museum Scotland, bulletin Scotland, arbroath Scotland, heck Scotland, roadway Scotland, distilleries Scotland, st andrews Scotland, drink Scotland, check out scotland Scotland, europe Scotland, castles Scotland, future Scotland, experience Scotland, blogging site Scotland, dundee Scotland, steering Scotland, sports Scotland, covid-Scotland9 Scotland, transportation Scotland. Edinburgh – Some suggestions for exploring Scotland Traveling in Scotland must most definitely start with its financing. It takes about 2 days to see Edinburgh, but you can easily prolong this opportunity up to 4. In the scenario of a short check out to Scotland, you can easily additionally restrict on your own to Edinburgh just, devoting one time on a circular trip through bus in the Scottish highlands (just about every travel company in the funds gives it). For a slightly longer trip (albeit still restricted to just a few days) coming from Edinburgh, I will recommend to strike in two directions: Isle of Arran or Loch Lomond. Arran is contacted Scotland in baby. Investing pair of or three days on the isle, our experts may take pleasure in the appeal of the west coast, relax on the coastline, climb the highest peak of the island– Goat Fell, and also admire the grassy hills and appreciate the area. Loch Lomond is one of Scotland’s two national playgrounds, a stunning pond bordered through woods and hillsides. Heading, you can likewise check out Stirling Castle.

Scotland, like the entire of Great Britain, is not one of the least expensive places. In add-on, in Scotland the camping tent can be prepared up virtually anywhere, so visitors may likewise rest in the crazy. The very most renowned and one of the very most wonderful treking routes in Europe is the so-called West Highland Way. Longer trip? Just how around north along the west shoreline as well as at that point back to the quieter, albeit less spectacular east? Many visitors in Glasgow, takes a train to Mallaig (often seeing Glencoe or Fort William heading) then check outs Isle of Skye (the most beautiful of the Scottish islands), at that point head along the shoreline towards Ullapool, as for Durness, en route back seeing Inverness, Fort Augustus (Loch Ness), Aberdeen as well as Cairngorms National Park, and also finally St Andrews. Is it feasible through buses as well as trains? Of training course it is actually achievable, but you will certainly miss a lot, so it is better to rent a cars and truck for a minimum of aspect of the travel. And don’t be fooled by the vacationer snare of Loch Ness– in simple fact, there are actually loads of a lot more gorgeous places around Scotland country Scotland, scottish Scotland, application Scotland, conservative Scotland, info Scotland, scotland Scotland, us Scotland, edinburgh Scotland, child Scotland, cult Scotland, map Scotland, iona Scotland, menu Scotland, traveling Scotland, data Scotland, past Scotland, vehicle Scotland, ship Scotland, uk Scotland, train Scotland, celtic Scotland, glasgow Scotland, shetland Scotland, society Scotland, tay Scotland, bus Scotland, news Scotland, learning Scotland, little bit Scotland, navigation Scotland, cookie Scotland, covid Scotland, sport Scotland, accessibility Scotland, online videos Scotland, highland games Scotland, area Scotland, golf Scotland, scots Scotland, food Scotland, whisky Scotland, budget plan Scotland, visitscotland Scotland, museum Scotland, e-newsletter Scotland, arbroath Scotland, heck Scotland, street Scotland, distilleries Scotland, st andrews Scotland, cocktail Scotland, visit scotland Scotland, europe Scotland, castles Scotland, future Scotland, encounter Scotland, weblog Scotland, dundee Scotland, steering Scotland, sporting activities Scotland, transportation Scotland Glenelg I always remember exploring Scotland for the first opportunity at the conclusion of April. It was actually actually spring in Scotland, the sun was heating up, while in Scotland it was actually still winter all over. The Highlands were actually still covered in snowfall in several spots, and in Edinburgh it was piercingly storm. When journeying in Scotland, initially of all really good, water-resistant, sports footwear. A suitable waterproof (as well as windproof!) Will certainly also be available in convenient, in some cases it is actually additionally worth adding a thin scarf, a sporting activities hat and sports handwear covers to the backpack (spring and also fall). In wintertime, I recommend preventing Scotland coming from a range. Why? The answer is actually easy: it puts and also blows. Add-on little bit of points: Umbrellas definitely do not work (the wind flexes them in every instructions), the tent should (MUST!) have a great flysheet, it is actually worth taking a recyclable bottle along with you (faucet water, however also drinkable in rivers or even flows), at least a handful of pairs of belts, a hot fleece and something to repel unpleasant flies (I recommend a modicum). When it comes to a low-budget trip, sleep in a camping tent or even remain only in hotels (cost regarding PLN 80 every evening). You should attempt seafood (they are delicious!), Whiskey, visit a minimum of one whiskey and order fish as well as potato chips with white vinegar a minimum of as soon as. I wish that through this blog post I encouraged my buddies (:-RRB-) however additionally strangers to travel to Scotland. It’s truly worth a hundred opportunities! I invite you to check out, if merely I am still below. Gorgeous Scottish seasides. Loch Lomond Backpack. Iona- very small isle, white colored beaches. Isle of Skye. Glencoe. Eilean Donan Castle. Island of Arran. Scotland is actually most certainly a truly beautiful nation, and every year it is actually checked out by crowds of vacationers coming from the United States, France, and also also Italy or Spain. Arran is phoned Scotland in miniature. Scotland, like the entire of Great Britain, is actually
