"Piros 50 A" was the name of this well organized hiking on Saturday. It means: 50km long A-stage. "A" means the first 50km of the total 85km route. It was the 6th official performance-hiking in my life. The first one was the same like this, on 29th of October, 2005.The last one was on the 5th of April, 2008 and 50km long one also. My hiking-mate was Álmos, the younger brother of Áron (I.R.O.N) my greatest architect friend, who is in Poland now. So that we named our challenge: "Iron memorial tour". This time we got perfect weather, which means the rain rained only when i wanted it. I started with empty stomach, and felt myself close to have a "black screen" in any moment. Fortunately i didn't Knocked out before time, so we reached Dömös village (Checkpoint at halfway [30km]) at noon. I ate two sandwiches that the organisers gave me. (it is in the fee that we paid at the start of the tour). That tuned me up, and tossed me towards the 35km Checkpoint on the second highest hill of Hungary, the Dobogókő hilltop with brilliant panorama(pictures above and below). There i implanted two fresh young bananas with a beer and wanted to stay there forever %). Soon we started to go down the last 15km-s. (to be continued..)
