27km total 2870km 7 hours And the rain is back. I decided to get on track after a late start and soon after the station the track gets muddy and soon steep up the first hill of the day. I enjoy the views before entering the clouds on the top of the hills. The wind […]
Make it two please! I went out to have some whiskeys with other hikers and the night was longer and even way better than expected. On the day I planned to leave I changed my mind and just took another rest day. The weather is good so I enjoy the time at the lake. But […]
