Marzipan Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Heya folks! Don't let this one pass you by! I read it last night, my eyes are still hurting for the reading load... but couldn't but it aside! Hot guys hiking and in the mercy of wilderness, that is the start, not telling more Take the Track 2
Dark Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 This story is indeed quite lovely and reads just like a relaxing holiday. The cliffie on the end of Part 1, however, is just mean. 2
Site Administrator Cia Posted January 30, 2011 Site Administrator Posted January 30, 2011 LOL, thankfully he loaded up 2 more chapters!! That cliffie is quite evil I love this story and Iarwain's posting here on GA finally!! 2
Marzipan Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 The story is also what not do when going hiking! Always be prepaired! Or the nature will get ya! Lol, I've had some close calls when hiking in Lapland, those really taught the importance of being carefull, making plans, sticking to them and not carrying a surfboard with ya. But, I loved it, soo different from what I've red lately! 1

Glad you enjoyed the story Dark. Lol. there's nothing like a good 'cliffie' in a story. Relaxing?? - well, in some ways yes, though hiking over 150 kilometres isn't for everyone. Iarwain.

Palantir Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Well, the original spark of inspiration for this story came from a chance encounter with a guy when I was hiking two days away from any civilisation in the Tasmanian South Coast Wilderness. He had actually carried a surf-board all that way. The story is also what not do when going hiking! Always be prepaired! Or the nature will get ya!

He had actually carried a surf-board all that way. I love that you used that in a story! I try to do that sometimes, like taking photographs and specific images. For one story I had a guy fall out of a tree with his camera, which I've done. Thankfully I didn't hurt myself though. Anyway, I love hearing what inspires stories for people. For me it's been photographs, memories, emotions, magazine articles, dreams. I've found that I will get small flashes of ideas or scenes, stories, or even just lines by characters at random points so I try to keep a notepad and pen near me at all times. I knew you used scenery and landscapes from your own trips, but that you actually came across a hiker carrying a surfboard is a really cool bit of inspiration. 1

Oh my, falling out of a tree is definitely NOT on my list of wannadoes - even for the purposes of inspiration - the closest I've come to that is being stuck on my roof for an hour when I knocked the ladder down by mistake.
