“Gabanura umuvuduko!” uwo twakoranaga Alex yaranguruye ati “Genda buhoro!” ari ku muhanda hafi y’umuyoboro narimo ndimo kwiruka. Imivugire ye y’ubushyuhe yo muri Wales n’ijwi rye ryihariye ntibyari bihishe ubwoba mu ijwi rye.
Mu gusubiza, nahise nsunika ubwato butari bwo imbere, nshyira ubwato bwacu bwa metero 1.8 ku muvuduko mwinshi mu gisenge cy'icyuma cy'ikiraro Alex yari amaze gufungura. Ku bw'amahirwe, umuvuduko wose w'ubwato wari kilometero 1.8 mu isaha. Ariko, humvikana urusaku rwinshi rw'icyuma ku byuma, ruhagarika itsinda rito ry'abari aho. Nta kintu cyiza nko muri Amerika batwara imodoka hirya no hino mu Bwongereza.
Alex yongeye kuvuga ati: “Mu by’ukuri… buhoro buhoro.” Iruhande rwanjye, Kali, icyuma cyanjye cya zahabu cyaranze, yarebye ku nkombe nk’aho agiye kuva mu bwato.
Twakodesheje ubu bwato muri Country Craft Narrowboats mu mudugudu wa Llangynyddr mu rugendo rwacu rw'iminsi itatu rwanyuze muri Pariki y'Igihugu ya Brecon Beacons muri Pays de Galles y'Amajyepfo. Alex yakuriye mu birometero bigera kuri 40 kandi yakundaga kuroba no kujya mu biruhuko muri ako gace n'umuryango we. Ubwato bwacu, Country Girl, bwari bufite igitanda kinini gifite ibitanda bifite imitako, igikoni cyuzuye, aho kuba no kuriramo, ubwiherero bufite ubwiherero, n'intebe nini ihagije yo kwicaramo intebe ebyiri zo mu nkambi. Ushobora kwicaraho ukanywa ikawa mu gitondo mu gihe ibibwana bikina. Gukaraba iruhande rwacu.
Urugendo rwacu rwo gusubira inyuma rw'ibirometero 30 rukurikira umuyoboro wa Monmouthshire na Brecon uva Llankindir ujya mu mujyi wa Brecon hanyuma ugaruka. Tunyura mu cyaro, mu nzuri z'intama no mu mpinga z'amabuye y'umucanga atukura ya Brecon Beacons, aho pariki yakuye izina ryayo. Twakurikije ikarita y'akabari ko ku nkengero z'umuyoboro maze duhagarara ijoro ryose kugira ngo nyuma yo kurya dushobore gusubira mu bwato gukina amakarita cyangwa kuryama mu bwato bwacu.
Iminsi yacu irashira turi mu bwigunge buhebuje. Twamaze amasaha menshi twishimira ibintu bishya n'amajwi ya pariki, rimwe na rimwe tugahagarara ngo dutemberane cyangwa dukore pikiniki.
Nyuma y'umunsi w'imvura n'umuyaga mwinshi wamaze hanze y'imiyoboro y'amazi n'ibishanga, nta hantu hashobora kuba hameze neza nka cwtch (mu rurimi rw'ikiweli bisobanura "guhoberana, guhoberana" cyangwa ahantu hato hatekanye) kurusha akabari gashyushye. Twahagaze kenshi - dufite umusatsi utose, imyenda yanduye n'imbwa zitose - kandi twakiriwe neza. Nyuma gato yo guhagarara muri Royal Oak Hotel mu mudugudu wa Penchley twakiriye telefoni itubwira ko ubwato bwacu bwari bwaracitse kandi buri kureremba hagati mu muyoboro. Alex yirutse ajya mu mvura kugira ngo amutware; Kwicara iruhande rw'umuriro ufite ikirahuri cya Breacon gin - inzoga yo muri Wales yakuwe mu mazi ya pariki y'igihugu - bishobora kugufasha gutuza imitsi yawe.
Birumvikana ko twishimiye urugendo rwacu i Brecon dukoresheje gin yo mu nzu ya Hop In Beer & Gin, duhabwa n'amashami ya rosemary, uduce twa grapefruit n'urusenda rwirabura. Nyuma y'aho nimugoroba twahagaze muri kabari ya Three Horseshoes iri hejuru y'umusozi i Grosfordd maze turya inyama z'ibitunguru, inyama z'ingurube n'ifi ya Cornish monkfish mu kazu k'ibiti ko ku mucanga hagati y'amafi ari mu busitani bw'inyuma.
Uretse kuganira n'abakorerabushake babiri bamfashije gukoresha ingufuri mu gihe cyose Alex yari afashe izamu (twigiye ku makosa yacu), twamaze iminsi yacu turi mu bwigunge bushimishije. Twamaze amasaha menshi twishimira ibintu bishimishije n'amajwi ya pariki, rimwe na rimwe tugahagarara kugira ngo dutemberane cyangwa dukore pikiniki. Iyo imvura iguye, nk'uko bigenda buri munsi, dukoresha uburyo bwo kurokoka, tugafata ibikoresho byacu bidashobora kuvogerwa n'amazi, tugatera amajwi, amajwi yacu yabuze mu muyaga, maze tugafatanya kuyobora ubwato bwacu mu buryo bworoshye.
Itandukaniro riri hagati y'ituze n'umuvuduko wa adrenaline ryatumye nsobanukirwa neza ubwuzu Alex yahoraga avuga ku ngendo ze zo mu bwana muri Brecon Beacons. Ibyiza bye bikomeye n'ishyaka rye mu buzima bwa buri munsi, byari bidasanzwe kuri njye ubwo namubonaga bwa mbere, byahise byumvikana: keretse Abanya-Welsh bamenye kubyina mu mvura, ntibari kugira umwanya munini wo kubyina na gato.
Amato ya Narrowboats yo mu cyaro atanga amato atandatu afite ihumure ryose ryo mu rugo. Aboneka kuva muri Werurwe kugeza mu Ukwakira.
