SUMMER 2010
July 18th: Fagaras. By train, minivan and hitchikking (separately) we managed to assemble
at Piscu negru around 1.30pm. From here we trekked towards
Podeanu-Florea saddle 
- caldarea Berbecilor - Strunga Dracului avoiding trail
- Strunga Doamnei 
- main ridge trail 
(here the sun was setting)
with descent to Negoiu Chalet peste Strunga Ciobanului 
and Piatra Pranzului 
.
My initial estimate of 9 hours with reaching Negoiu chalet around 10-11pm
proved entirelly optimistic, in the end we arrived at
Negoiu chalet at 4.20am next morning, after nearly 15 hours
of walking. After an 8-hour sleep the following day we descended to
Porumbacu .
People: Andreea Soare, Alex Carp, Emil Georgescu.
SUMMER 2005
- September 5th: Fagaras. Again a three-day trip. The first day we went by car up to "La Cariera"
(near Porumbacu) then on foot up to Negoiu Chalet . Second day we left
the chalet with plans to reach Caltun Lake by Piatra Pranzului and
Strunga Ciobanului but the enthuziasm has waned after Strunga Ciobanului
so we returned to the chalet. In the third day the others descended to the
car and I crossed the mountain on the itinerary Negoiu Chalet - Serbota
Peak - Custura Saratii - Negoiu Summit - Caltun Lake - Piscu Negru
.
People: Nicoleta Puscasu, Nicoleta Zamfir, Cosmin Zamfir.
