Matic, thanks for the link, I already know the theory, but I have no practice.
ljubitelj gora, no one was willing to offer transport, except one that was 20 km away from my place, which takes me at least 3h on foot, no bus option. Nothing left for me. Then there are instructors who said the risk is too high to take me. Which is already discrimination, but let's leave it. And no peers either.
nJjc, if I compare myself to (even younger) peers, then I'm already falling behind in ascents to harder mountains, mainly due to lack of car and company. I hike alone, no misunderstanding. But my wishes are similar to theirs. There's even a couple here on the portal whose posts I only "lurk" on and then study for days how to get at least to the foot of the mountain. The fact is, I now have by far the most fitness, which I'll probably lose during studies because I won't have mountains nearby.
As for mid-mountains, they work for me in winter. There are cows, snakes in the grass there, and the accessibility of most mid-mountains is the same as high mountains. And it's even hotter, that's why I push higher, to be cooler. In bivouac 3 couldn't even sleep, it was so stuffy, and elsewhere... I also miss many easy 2000ers, and access to Bovec is a problem. I already wanted to go to Bovec with a change in Kranjska Gora, but the bus ALWAYS missed due to delays, so I went on all hard tours and got excited about climbing with fear. Without turning back in Kranjska Gora, because it takes 6h by buses there, but I went to see what a hard mountain looks like. I was ready to turn back, but I always made it, despite all doubts, so I imagined projects of conquering 2000ers etc... But around Kranjska Gora I'm already running out of harder peaks, so only alpinistic ones remain. Before I get the chance to conquer easier ones, I'd like to conquer alpinistic ones while still young.
Cycling I don't like, because I don't like the wind blowing, and I see poorly too, and it already happened that I almost rode under a car because I didn't see it. Running isn't really for me either.
Hammond, how in AO if they don't accept you???  During studies I'd have golden time, but they don't want me  Lower goals are already boring. 1 mountain visit is enough for me. Especially on marked paths only 1x, because paths like to Vrh Vršica from Kranjska Gora, to Kamniško sedlo from Bistrica, to Kokrsko sedlo and elsewhere are so destroyed that I have no interest in going there. And so much nettles and other bushes, ouch. Just this year I got bad burns going from Jesenice to Golica, only nettles and one weird plant burned me so badly, ouch...
Martuljek I like for that reason, not many people, and lots of orientation loops for variety, and little easy paths.
Say the whole eastern Slovenia is unknown to me, because they are hard to access, I was only where I was with family, all the rest is hard to access, because even to Ljubljana I barely make it for the weekend, even there at AP waiting is tedious for me, and then I'm already nervous if the bus will come at all, and what I'll do if I get stuck without a bus somewhere... This is happening far too often this year. No train, no bus, and then I have to call a taxi, and 50-100 EUR goes to nothing. Then I have less left for all alternative "treatments" for poor eyesight, because someday I hope it improves, somehow.
