Last Friday I did an activity in the Sierra de Gredos which had long been planned, had always wanted to climb to the Laguna Grande in winter, yet full of snow, ice pass over the lagoon and watch the Circo de Gredos dyed white.
Those who have ever been in the lagoon agree that there Refuge is the Elola , during the months of June to October the refuge is open daily in winter open weekends and holidays.
For a facility of this type can run it needs the cooperation of our friends, the horses, the summer is very common to find horses that carry food and equipment from the platform to the shelter every day down to away and come up with supplies. Those who have been in summer may remember that at that time the lake is more crowded than the Gran Vía de Madrid .
Without the help of these animals would impractical to have a shelter to the facilities offered by the open Elola .
What I just have repeated in most of the mountain huts that exist in our country, but there are places where they had never seen a horse and thanks to the guile and vision of a young guide can count on the invaluable help of one of our equine friends.
Gurman young Nepalese guide who lives in the high valleys of the Himalayas , more than 4000 meters, is the owner of Karma, a small gray horse that helps to carry equipment and supplies to Everest Base Camp .
The village where they live Karma and its owner is the last inhabited place before the Everest base camp , when there is a Gurman injured and his horse down the mountain who can not return home on their own feet.
do not know if this small thrush be aware of the work being done in a place as stark and forbidding, but what I am sure of is that there are many people that owes much to this little horse.
