46 km from the Black Mountain to Mount Nixon
Alex Godard is a young filmmaker who combines his passions for hiking and video. He has set himself the challenge of hiking 46 km over Montagne Noire, Montagne Blanche, Montagne Grise, Tête Blanche and Mont Nixon.
52 km in one day
My new personal best in hiking! 52 km of climbing and descending between the black mountain and the Nixon mountain. Several unusual incidents during this crazy day 😅.
The route we took: Montagne Noire, Montagne Blanche, Montagne Grise, Tête Blanche and Mont Nixon is about 46 km. The dozens of round trips made me cover extra kilometres on this day. My watch shows 52 km on this summer day 😅
The trail offers a panoramic view with an observation tower, Laurentian mountains, a good challenge and an ideal location to see the sunset and sunrise. A winning formula for a beautiful day 🙂 !
Heat and lack of water
There is no such thing as a perfect day on the trail. There are always unforeseen circumstances 😅. The heat and the rain were present. In addition, the water points were dry.
Suffocating heat and lack of water don't mix well 😅. I am known as the camel 😅 My camel body survived. I took water from all the mud holes with my filter 😅. Second little incident that happened ...
A missed sunset
I have hiked Mount Nixon many times. The sun sets directly over the viewpoint. Yes and No 😅. In summer the sun doesn't set in the same place. I used to do this hike in winter 🤦♂️.
I am on top of the mountain waiting for that fabulous sunset. As the hour goes by, my hope of seeing a sunset disappears. Clouds appear and the sun is no longer present. I finally give up, telling myself that it is hidden behind clouds.
On my descent, I realize my mistake! I see it in front of me. I see him between the branches on the mountain on the other side.
I take the camera under my arm and speed down the 3 km to the viewpoint. Unfortunately, Mister Sun goes down without me. I can see its reflections and beautiful colours in the sky 🙂 .
Orgasm and nature
An unexpected incident. On our way up the Montagne Noire, we took a break at the Mésangeai refuge. Other people were present at the refuge.
We take the time to appreciate the pink colours of the sun in the sky and the quietness of the place. We take some videos and photos. My microphone is of very good quality to hear the sounds of nature.
Speaking of nature, we hear the moans of two adult bodies giving each other pleasure. The place was so inspiring that these people created a secret garden where the exchange of mutual pleasure was present.
The sounds of wind and birds have been replaced by beautiful moans ahahah. The fresh air and the mountains give ideas!
CONCLUSION
A great success and a personal best for me. 52 km was a great challenge in the scorching heat and with dry water sources. The various incidents spiced up this challenge.
I love the combination of pushing myself, hiking, sunsets and video. I loved the day and a recovery beer was a must at the end of the day.
