The summit database is unlikely to be complete. If you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-EA2, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager. 2.2 General information Regions are based on EA2 Spanish provinces. Code is related to the old car plates system, very well known in Spain, except for Zaragoza that had only one letter in the plates, and therefore we added a “G”, and Navarra that has been chosen NV to avoid mistakes with “North America” IOTA references. So the code system is VI (Araba/Alava), BI (Bizkaia), SS (Gipuzkoa), NV (Navarra), ZG (Zaragoza), HU (Huesca) and TE (Teruel) To qualify for a summit it has to meet the following requirements: ● The summit must be listed in the Hiking Map 1:50 000 with a corresponding name or designator ● The summit must have at least 150 m prominence. ● In the case of doubt the Management Team will decide whether the Summit will be added to the list. The summit database does not claim to be completed and can only be changed by the acceptance of the management team. Summits cannot be counted for points until a launch date and reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager and approved by the SOTA Management Team. On 2015, several summit duplicated references were deleted. Those were on the borders of the EA2 Association, some of them with France. However, these summits can be activated by EA activators without using the F/ prefix, in cases in which the operating position is within the Spanish part of the Activation Zone. This would be also the same case for the French activators on the bordering summits with an EA2 reference. 2.3 Rights of way and access issues Footpaths in EA2 are usually well marked. Anyhow you should take a good map of the region where you want to hike plus GPS and/or compass if you have one. Never hike without a map, always follow the footpath. If a summit is in private property or you need to cross private property to access it, you will need the owner's permission before attempting activation. 2.4 Maps and navigation The easiest way to obtain a map is to get online. The most common cartography for hiking is the Mapa Topográfico Nacional (MTN) published by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Many products, such as a 1:25000 raster (MTN25), can be now downloaded freely from the download centre of the Spanish Centro Nacional de Información Geográfica at http://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/index.jsp Some areas of EA2 are covered by APRS. Page 5 of 22 Document S57.1 v 1.5 Summits on the Air – ARM for EA2 2.5 Safety considerations Before hiking always consult a weather forecast. Please remember that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared for snow, rain, strong wind or intensive sun, especially over 1000 metres a.s.l. In case of emergency you should call 112, the universal emergency number for all EU member states. 2.6 Foreign hams in EA2 Holders of CEPT Licenses are authorised to transmit according to their licenses and IARU Region I Bandplan. You should have a copy of your license with you. You should prefix your callsign with “EA2/” (EA is the main prefix in Spain, other common prefixes are EB and EC; special event callsigns include ED, EE, EF, EH, AM, AN and AO). Then you must add “/P”, “/M”. Second stroking is not mandatory. If you'd like to transmit from Spain for longer than 3 months you should contact the Jefatura Provincial de Telecomunicaciones of the respective province in order to obtain a Spanish licence 2.7 Awards There are no Association-specific awards at the moment. 2.8 Disclaimer Hiking, hill-walking and rock-climbing are potentially dangerous activities. The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Participants must be competent to undertake their proposed Expedition and must carry suitable equipment, taking account of the terrain, weather conditions, etc. Activators take part in the Programme entirely at their own risk and the Programme in its entirety shall accept no responsibility for injury, loss of life or any other loss. Activators are reminded that hill climbing is an inherently hazardous activity. Accidents can and do happen in the mountains and the risk is neither increased nor mitigated by the SOTA programme. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of the expeditions.

  • Les Communautés À Festuca Scoparia Dans La Moitié Occidentale
    Documents phytosociologiques Fascicules 9-14 Juillet 1975 LES COMMUNAUTES A FESTUCA SCOPARIA DANS LA MOITIE OCCIDENTALE DES PYRENEES (Notes préliminaires) par Pedro MONTSERRAT et Luis.VILLAR Cen~ro pirenaico de Biologia experimental Jaca (Huesca) Espagne Nous sommes très heureux de dédier cet article à M. le Professeur Dr~ R. TUXEN à l'occasion de ce volume jubilaire en le re­ merciant de l'essor remarquable imprimé aux études phytosociologiques. RESUMEN : Estudio geobota'nico, fitosociolo'gico y taxonomico-floristico, de los pastos orofîtos con Festuca scoparia propios deI sector centro-occidental pirenaico. Se trata de una~ comunidades abiertas permanentes, explotadas por su ambiente muy fluctuante y de manera muy esp~cial por fenomenos peri­ glaciares actuando sobre su estructura en mosaico. Se describen dos nuevas alianzas (Saponarion caespitosae y Thymelaeion nivalis), incluidas por el momento en elorden Astragaletalia semperviren­ tis Barbero 1968, de la claseFestuco-Seslerietea Barbero et Bonin 1969, Y se comentan sus relacionès con otras comunidades de Ononido-Rosmarinetea Br.-Bl. 1947. También se publican 3 nuevas variedades : Asperula cynanchica L. var. ansotana, Polygala alpina (Poir.) Steudel var. ansotana y Gentiana verna L. var. willkommiana. La rica flora de dichas comunidades pirenaicas presenta una variabili­ dad morfologica y ecotipica de dificil estudio, debido en parte a su papel de refugio precuaternario y a su especializaci6n ecologica. SUMMARY : This is a preliminary study on the Festuca scoparia communities of tha Western Pyrenees in a geobotanical, phytosociological and taxonomie point of view. They are oro-mediterranean stony grasslands which mosaic structure is determined by the periglaciar phenomena (cryoturbation and solifluction) to­ gether·with strong climatic fluctuations.

In addition, the area is also inhabited an ecological diversity with three well-differentiated areas, from the point by species such as wild boar, squirrels, foxes and many birds, of view of landscape and nature. To the north we find the high valleys, which make up the natural environment with many itineraries for where ancient quaternary glaciers, cirques and mountain lakes have left walks and outings. their marks. Landscapes excavated by the rivers of ice such as the Canal Roya, Aguas Tuertas, Guarrinza or Zuriza. Meadows and woods of beeches, firs, oaks and pine groves favoured by a rainy climate with Atlantic influences and inhabited by varied fauna (lammergeier, “sarrio” (chamois), grouse, eagles). These mountains have been declared a National Hunting Reserve and recognised by the European Union as one of the Special Protection Areas for Birds.

Rydla 14/24, 30-130 Kraków, Poland (E-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The following paper highlights the importance of accessibility, with particular emphasis on public transport, as a factor enabling hiking in relatively large region with numerous sites of outstanding natural and cultural value. The region under consideration is a part Spanish Pyrenees. Namely massifs of Monte Perdido and Sierra de Guara both located in Aragon. The paper is predominantly based on personal experience and observations, which the author gained during his trip in September 2008. Keywords : geological heritage, cultural heritage, accessibility, Pyrenees INTRODUCTION usually divided into the following geological units. The route of the author has led through Pyrenees axial (Fig. 1) – the oldest unit two different parts of Pyrenees. The first built mainly of Paleozoic sediments out of was the massif of Monte Perdido with its which granite batoliths stand out surroundings and the second was Sierra de surrounded with metamorphic zones. Guara situated at the southern foothill of the Granite massifs form the highest parts of first part. Both mountain groups are situated the mountain range along the Spanish- in the north of the Spanish region of French border often exceeding the height of Aragon.
