Prior to the recent SESAME progress meeting in March in Ljubljana, local organiser Iztok Tiselj arranged a unique social adventure of bear tracking in the hills around Postonja, Slovenia.
Two SESAME members, Graham Kennedy (SCK•CEN) and Afaque Shams (NRG) — both originating from the warmer parts of the globe — joined the adventure in sub-zero temperatures and at times knee deep snow. The fresh snowfall and winds made bear tracking nearly impossible and so no bear tracks were seen, yet the snow hiking was a great experience and the snowy Slovenian forest landscape was truly spectacular.
A very special thank you to Iztok Tiselj for arranging the activity and being such a great host.
