As we rounded the last corner to the hamlet we were surprised to find a Freelander upside down in the stream at the bottom of the gulley next to the road. |
The break was a long gulley, and the road climbed precariously and steeply along its edge. |
In the seconds leading up to the jump, I though that I was going to make it, but as my snowboard quickly got wedged into the snow halfway down the gulley my thoughts changed. |
After a short vertical overhanging pitch, you reach the first monkey bridge across a gulley. |
It's backed by reeds and uneven terrain, which at times is virtually a gulley. |
The dense foliage and shrubs made discerning the steepness very difficult until you were actually up in the gulley scrambling around. |
