Ascending into Trenches

Inside the Threnches
R7Q5+P9 Kato Kleines, Greece

Walking piece

Ascending in the highest the peak of Varnous mountain (Oryza, 2334m) we found ourselves amid a fierce cold wind that was transforming the verticality of the vegetation to horizontal. The fog was covering everything, we could barely see further than 20 meters away. We used the First World War trenches that were going to the peak to protect ourselves, and we finally arrived in the top that also indicated the border of two countries. We were there, at the center of conditions: weather, history, memory they were all there. We had found them.

stroam

Do you like to stroll? Are you a fan of roaming? Then you should give stroaming a try. This is a word blend, just like brunch. In her 1796 novel Camilla, Frances Burney described a character who “stroamed into the ball-room, with the most visible marks of his unfitness for appearing in it.” The OED indicates that stroaming involves “long strides” and/or idleness, so watch your form and attitude when out on a stroam.
