Dinghushan old Ding-feng adventure trip
Is located in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, the territory of Dinghu Nature Reserve, less than 100 kilometers away from Guangzhou, where reserves of 25 square kilometers of virgin forest, is the Tropic of Cancer on a well-known green pearl, people have come here on holidays during the wash lung leisure travel. This year's "Labor Day" holiday, Guangzhou's "pioneer camping club" at this time organized a different type of mountain climbing expedition on foot through the activities designed to train a person's will to overcome difficulties, so the road has been developed specifically to avoid the area, to explore not open to visitors to climb the Dinghushan National Nature Reserve within the highest in the mountains 1,000 meters above sea level peak of the "old tripod."
Foot camping expedition on foot from 6 men and 5 women a total of 11 cities in the composition of white-collar workers and outdoor enthusiasts, team leader of course, the field experienced camping club sponsor Xiong Ge. In the May 1 in the morning, two car full of camping equipment, embarked on a journey. The wide three highway, we drove to the party town of Zhaoqing in Phoenix, the first thing is specifically around to the vegetable market, the availability of the required BU night camping cooking rice dishes, canned food and other materials before entering the 9 Dragon Lake scenic area. Ring of water around in the mountains along a rugged loess 7 around 8 Shui, we reached the village of straw sandals with Gu Zi Villa, this is our last break into the base of Piedmont. Villa is located in the mountains surrounded by straw sandals of a plain, behind the mountain drops from the streams, gurgling into the beautiful Jiulong Lake. Here beautiful mountains, the climb from our goal of an old tripod foot peak of about 12 kilometers, the road has been opened but it can stop here, from the Hill District, meandering path south into the Dinghushan Kuanjin one meter, only Mountain forest trees can provide a tractor transporting passage.
In the Hills full bellies, we started sorting out luggage, and check the tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof pad, headlamps, flashlights, knives, lighters, compass, walkie-talkie, whistle, gloves, raincoats, etc. Prepare all the necessary field if necessary utensils, dry rations and water adequacy, combined with equally distributed to each member of the cooking materials, so that each 70 liters capacity are holding up the professional backpack bulging, weight, foot 10 kg.
Departure, and I record the time it is noon 1:30. Here cell phone has no signal, there is a feeling of isolation. Mountain trails through the jungle before reaching the foot of the old tripod drifting higher, maintaining a certain upward slope, coupled with a considerable weight of the load, we be expected to be three hours, with an average speed of 4 km, slower than normal walking speed. The beginning of all sentiment, along the way with words have to laugh, enjoy walking around in front of mountain forests, streams, waterfalls and other beautiful scenery, and many could not utter their places flowers and plants of the bizarre. As time goes by, physical consumption of the backpack on the shoulders feeling increasingly heavy, we have no mood to speak, to exercise the legs, only mechanical. After land is named Sam Ka Tsuen (I do not know where did you get from the Xiong Ge local military map of 1:500 learned) in place, where only 23 abandoned mud houses, host family has disappeared, can not say too on the village, we conducted the first rest time is 3:40 minutes, about 8 km from the origin, completing two-thirds of the distance. In order to rush to reach the foot of the mountain before dark stream of camping, we dare not rest for too long, 15 minutes later, we recovered some of physical, after the luggage Sheung again on her own. At this point become more steep jungle path, affecting the speed of our march. After a flower Luotian, hyacinth fields and other places, on the wound and adhered to more than an hour before we finally arrived at 5:00 Xiongge already proved camp, where the open area in the jungle mountain at its back side river, ground flat, should be higher than the surrounding terrain is really a good place for camping. According to Xiong Ge's experience tells us that the sun look at mountains, the mountains the night will soon come. We are too busy to think tired, immediately division of labor, tents, picking up the bark of dead branches, puzzle stoves, washing cooking materials, cooking fires in the dark pre-existence. Wait until the food cooked, the sky was completely dark down, we need to put on headlights eat. Leighton eat to really relish it, one today, too much physical exertion in the stomach as early as empty, and second, special meals cooked by firewood incense, urban long-Wei Chang carry on. As it is tired, the original dinner party held after the cancellation of the bonfire, and everyone readily bath in the river after, it plunged into the tent to sleep. Xiongge times before going to sleep in our camps scattered around some of the prepared plant ash as early as alleged would be very effective in preventing the snake-infested jungles, scorpion, worm infestations.
Peak climbing through the jungle one night free, then the next morning 6:30 Xiongge have blown the whistle, call before you get up and do a good job climbing preparations. Yang Shou Yuan Wang in the camps, we can see the old-ting the peak of mountain clouds looming between now. Discerned from the map, the foot of the camp at an altitude of about 100 meters to 3 kilometers from the peak levels, the vertical distance of 900 meters, it is estimated there are at least reach the summit need to travel 5 km or more, count on the way of the rest time, the time required to plan the mountains 4 hours, stay at the peak 1 hour, down to 2 hours. The climb everyone much more relaxed, his back had a large backpack for a small backpack, everyone just put on a meal of dry food meals and adequate drinking water back and forth, and the necessary field equipment, and other things Yi Gai stay in the camps. As the mountain is no path, in order to be in the thorny forests of the mountains while trying to protect the body through the reptiles from injury, we had already fully armed, wearing clothes with long trousers, wear a hat, gloves. After eating breakfast, we 7:15 a formal proceeding, with the drifting into the mountains after dark, we saw around us were tall trees all around, the evergreen broadleaf forest, dense, cover days, blocks out the sun, out of sight only the radius of 56 meters, the team at the end of the first team who have already see each other. At this point you will feel how small people, nature, how vast. In such circumstances, must rely on the compass to help us identify the direction, must rely on whistle sound to help us keep in touch, and will not lag behind. In order to prevent down time can not find the antecedents, and every mountain turn changed to the line, we are easily identifiable in the trees or rocks on the cook significant mark. Climbing on the way, there is frequently encountered slope seventy to eighty degrees, in particular the steep place, we will hands and feet and his hands grasp the top of the tree trunks, branches, tree trunks and need to keep a close watch on any thorns spikes, gloves, this time played a very protective effect of large feet are Dengzhe the following roots, close to the body strength to climb the slope on the hair. This means climbers who consume the most physical, into the mountains less than an hour, everyone toil, we are ready to rest when the mad thirst drinking occasion, the male song again from his own experience had taught: "In the wilderness expedition water resources are limited circumstances, we should rationally arrange drinking water, do not thirst for a moment while drinking. drink plenty of water should also pay attention to science, if one drink your fill, the body will be absorbed excess water excreted, so that would be in vain waste a lot of water. If you drink, the last drink 12, then slowly swallowed in its mouth, a moment when you feel thirsty, drink one, slowly swallowing, so that duplication of drinking water, it can enable the drink of water the body will fully absorb, but also solve the tongue dry throat. a standard pot, an ~ 1.2 liters of water, using the correct method of drinking water will enable a person to adhere to vigorous exercise 6 to 8 hours, or even longer. we have the whole mountain is 7 hours, has proved the mountains, there is no water, we must be rational allocation of their own drinking water well, or who would not help you. "put words into action, none of us Excitement not yield to the temptation of drink.
After two rest later, under the leadership of the team leader, Xiong Ge, we have finally drilled from the dense forest in a "way to survive", turned on the ridge, first thing that strikes eyes bright, eye suddenly became open, distributed on the ridges on both sides of the one meter tall dense coppice and pink azalea in full bloom, the most noteworthy is the growth on the ridge of rock on the edge of a cliff purple shell Tin Kwai, is Dinghushan of endemic plants, foliage green, dorsal was purple, is a valuable medicine material, dried in the sun can sell 300 yuan a pound. Stand here, look up and we could see the top of the peak before the "old tripod" is boast of the mountains, down to faint you can see the foot of the edge of our camps dotted with the red tent, flat depending on the surrounding mountains to appreciate the scenery, see, however, rolling mountains, steep beautiful patchwork. Goal in sight, the path clear, from the ridge to the summit of this section, we do not worry about lost, plus mountain breeze to Xu, it is fluffy, the surrounding environment, eye candy, though exhausted, but we also have a forward momentum. Climbed peak in the last paragraph of the journey, although there is no obstacle to the jungle, but a place special soul-stirring, there is the unpredictable side of cliffs, climbing the local Kuanjin settled a few inches, because the development does not belong here The scenic area, there is no barrier set up to give climbers a big psychological pressure, which should be the last corner. We have carefully when they passed over the body-oriented, close to the other side of the rock, his hands grasp dare to climb up a step by step, slowly but, it really is "infinite beauty in the dangerous mountain peak"! In the morning 11:30, we are finally standing on the peak of the old tripod Dinghushan above. At this point of our clothes in intimate contact with thorns under the jungle had been "scarred," Gray-headed earth everyone confused face, but everyone is excited, cheering each other for a successful ascent proud, play to "a football small hills "After all, we are after overcoming all obstacles, to pay a lot of physical and take the way their predecessors did not come to conquer the peak of Dinghushan.
To find a way down the mountain on foot of a return trip in peak-hour stay, we disorder to rest lying on the ground, big mountain breeze blowing. Leader Xiongge reminds us: "The real test behind, in order to exercise our ability to find their own way down the mountain, I will follow behind in the team."
In 12:30, we are regaining strength after the time set foot on the return. We basically do not get lost down there on several occasions taken the wrong path, but is able to correct its mistake. As the slope is too steep, we are sometimes forced to adopt the "stumbled" approach, but in the end be able to successfully out of the mountain jungle. Back to the foot of the camp, we have become a group of whole body bromidrosis, exhausted, tattered clothes, "refugees." After a one-hour break, the manager issued at 6 o'clock before dark walk back to straw sandals Villa task, because there no longer eat, and immediately aroused much uproar. Xiongge claimed that he could complete the mission field who is qualified expedition members, although the heart with great reluctance, but we only pick up a good camp, back heavy backpack, in the 15:30 start of this last and the most tortured man load the 12-kilometer walking tour. After half a day of strenuous exercise, in fact, everyone's strength has been depleted, which is several times Bipin perseverance, Bipin will challenge their own time, 1 hour later, two hours passed, and we feel like the degree of "time" as the annual feeling feet, and weight-bearing pain in the shoulders as the same fire. Every time there was a tractor loaded with trees beside the path from the passage, our eyes to stare at a blink and hold Hen Buneng embodiment of trees lying motionless above one until the disappeared from sight. Finally, the sun sets, we finally saw the straw sandals Villa a corner, the pace of the difficult stumbled, feeling misery later, feeling like back in this world. At this moment, can not become a qualified member of the expedition have been important, we need most is a comfortable exposure to the bed on it.
Summary of this mountain-climbing adventure activities do so through involvement in obtaining a lifetime of field experience and experiences, and more importantly, the activity itself to the people's will, determination of exercise increase. Here I would like to thank the organization of events planners Xiong Ge is that he made the success we had this trip.
