Sunset...

In that point i was hurried and began to run because it began to get dark,but that was a mistake because i lost the right descent path. After 15 minutes i thought that something is going wrong,so i walked back and i searched for the right one. I found it after 1 hour ,but i lost it again ,because i passed a crossroad without signs on the rocks... It was very dark,but fortunately my headlamp had new batteries and finally i found the path. After 1 hour i made it to return...

The 4 mistakes i made...

1.I began my hike at afternoon on paths i followed for the first time. 2.I was hurried and not concentrated and i lost the path 3.I was running for 15 minutes without seeing signs on the rocks 4.I was alone

I am still angry with myself because i ran/hike on the mountains since 2013 and these mistakes are unforgivable for a experienced mountaineer like me.

To remember this bad night and how stupid i was, i took this failed photo...

The Dancing Lights...

I will learn from my mistakes and i will be more careful for now on...

thanks for stooping by @mariossap

    I'm sorry to hear that you got lost but luckily you found your way in the end. I never hike alone as I'm scared something like that would happen to me and I would panic and never find my way back. I even don't go alone to the forest :)

    It's a beautiful place with amazing landscape and great views. And I love that sunset :)

    Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your curie vote!

    Hi @mariossap. I have always wanted to go to Greece, it is one of those dreams that one must fulfill and someday I will. Thank you for the photographic walk that also had its sunset and "dancing lights". The advice you provide in this publication is good and timely, especially the fact of going for a walk for the first time and doing it late and alone. I always go out with a map (maybe there is some guide for walking on Mount Penteli). I ask you: in the photograph of the Chapel there is a bell. If you touch it, is there someone who speaks of the Chapel or the bell is only decorative?

    I love the last part of your article. Hehehe, you are human. You started hiking late and I guess that was unusual to you. The day was getting dark and you were at the Summit as at that moment, which I guessed was unusual to you again, so you tried to get to safety as quickly as possible, quite wise. Everyday we learn a lesson and I suppose you have learned yours 🙂. It was a very interesting article, I enjoyed it greatly.

    Keep up the great work @mariossap
