素晴らしい天気 Beautiful day
びっくりした！！！急にここから若猪が逃げめした。私から４メートルぐらいの場所でした。寝ていましたかな。全然見ませんでした。 Woah!!! Suddenly a small boar took off from here. I didn't see it at all until I was almost on top of it (about 4 meters). It must have been sleeping.
チカラシバ dwarf fountain grass 'chikarashiba'
私の周りに鹿が鳴いています。結構近くにいますが雑草が長いために見えません。この辺に鹿が多いです。 バーベキューの鹿肉ソーセージを食べたいです。
I can hear deer crying all around me. I can't see them due to the thick vegetation at this time of year. There are a lot of deer in this area. I want barbecued venison sausages.

今日の眺めが素晴らしいです The view today is awesome
天橋立 Amanohashidate
 登山口に到着 Arrival at the track entrance |  ここにMTBを置いておいて歩いていきます I'll leave my MTB here and go on foot |
 5分後岩場を登ると素晴らしい眺めを楽しめます 5 minutes later after climbing a rock face, I can enjoy a fantastic view |  尾根まで絶景ポイントが三つあります。これは一番目です。 There are 3 points with stunning views on the way to the ridge. This is the first one. |
 杉の木が多いゾーン Cedar tree zone |  でかい！！！上から見ると幅が3メートルほどあるでしょう。 Enormous!!! Looking from uphill, it must have a width of about 3 meters. |
尾根までの登山道がきついです。先ほどの岩場の意外に地面が軟らかいで、猪の後が多いです。巨大の杉の中を上っていくゾーンです。尾根までの登山道がちょっとわかりにくいですがピンクぽいのリボンがあるので迷いません。
The track to the ridge is steep. Apart from the rock face just before, the ground is soft and has been rooted by boars. In this area you climb up through giant cedar trees. the path to the ridge is a little hard to see, but if yo follow the pinkish ribbons, you should be right.

 尾根に到着。尾根にある登山道がとてもいい道です。 Made it to the ridge. The track along the ridge is really good. It's 950 meters from here to Mt. Akaiwa |  キノコ Fungus |
 西方寺平の分岐です。 The Saijoji Plateau track meets the ridge track here. |  何かが私のズボンに付いています There's something on my pants. |
綺麗な蝶々です。蝶々の吻が私のズボンのタグを触っています。何か美味しいものがあるでしょう。 The butterfly is touching the tag on my pants with it's proboscis. Maybe there is something tasty there.

赤岩山の山頂が面白いです。私にとってこの辺の一番面白い山頂です。赤岩山の露岩が林立しています。Mt. Akaiwa's summit is an interesting place. For me, it is the most interesting summit in this area. The exposed rocks stick up all over the summit.

 ここから宇野ヶ岳へ行きます。 From here I head to Mt. Uno-ga-dake. It's 1.3 km to it's summit. |  |
登山道を歩いているときに急に左の足のごく近くに逃げている動物が聞こえました。私は同時に右の方に飛びました。な、な、なに！！！3秒ぐらいその動物を目で探しました。うぎゃー！！！蛇だ！！！全然みませんでした。その蛇が尻尾に立って、頭を’ｓ’の形にして、私に向かっていました。怖い！！！私を攻めるかい！？写真を撮るか逃げるかどうしょう？そして石の中に入ってしまいました。どんな蛇だったかな。初めて見た蛇でした。綺麗な色と柄がしました。写真がほしいと思って、10分ぐらい待ちましたが出てきませんでした。家に帰ってからその蛇の種類を調べました。シマヘビでした。無毒蛇で、よかったです。しかし危なかったです。わくわく！！！どきどき！！！楽しかった！！！
I suddenly heard the sound of a fleeing animal right beside my left foot as I was walking along the track. At the same time I leaped to the right. What the heck was that. It took me about 3 seconds to see it. Woah!!! It's a snake. I didn't see it at all. The snake reared up on it's tail with it's head in the striking 's' shaped position and facing me. It's giving me the heebie jeebies. Is it going to attack me? Should I take a photo or flee? Before I could take the photo it slithered into a big rock. What kind of snake was that? I've never seen one like it before. It was quite an attractive color and pattern. Wishing I had taken a photo, I waited about 10 minutes to see if it would come back out, but it didn't. After getting home, I looked it up. It was a Japanese four-lined rat snake ('shima-hebi'). Luckily it is non venomous. That was a close call. But exciting.

「シマヘビ」私の写真ではありませんがこれとそっくりでした。 [Japanese four-lined rat snake] This isn't my photo, but it was exactly the same as this one.

うぎゃー！！！又蛇が登山道にいました。何、この蛇？ヤマカガシ （黒化型）ですか。今度この蛇がちょっと逃げたらじっとしました。ちょっと怖くなりました。ここから登山道を注意深く見て歩きました。
Woah!!! Another snake on the track. What's this one? Is it a 'yamakagashi' tiger keelback (black type)? This time it flees a short distance and lies still. This is a little unsettling. From here a pay close attention to the track ahead.

柄がちょっと見えます。体の下(腹)が白っぽいですね。 Can see a slight pattern. It's bottom looks whitish.

綺麗な花です。これは赤岩山山頂の案内板に載ってありました。リンドウだと思います。 A pretty flower. This one was on the information board that was on the summit of Mt. Akaiwa. Japanese gentian (rindou).

二つの仲良く昆虫を見つけました。お互いに鳴いていました。 I found two insects singing to each other.
