Today was long and tough, even though only ten miles and not much ascent - the terrain was awful for large stretches. We weren’t on a path and we had to make our way through bogs, trying to leap from tussock to tussock and never quite sure of our footing as our legs disappeared into the long grasses. Lucky to emerge with intact knees and ankles! My feet got wet as I was wearing my trail runners, but fortunately they stayed warm enough regardless. We also had very strong and chilling wind at around lunchtime. All in all it was a challenging but rewarding day. When we got back we had tea and then a drink, then a three-course dinner prepared by various members of the group, then a jolly chat around the table. Convivial. All nice people.
Stunning scenery today - great autumn colours!
