Solo walk.Today I took a nice and easy 2.30hrs walk on a nice trail. I went up in my books and attempted some barefoot hiking coming down - not strictly all the way down for the top part was quite littered by treacherous sharp stones, and I had to come down in a bit of a hurry to avoid the rising fog, so I preferred wearing my boots for the first part of the descent.

| Autumn is coming |
The colours of the Autumn are starting to show and the scenery is really beautiful. At the lake is all peace and quiet - you just hear the soft ripple of the water and a bird chirping in the distance. I didn't meet anyone else on this trail, nor at the lake, making it all the more enjoyable.

| refreshing the feet |
As soon as I reached the lake I put my feet in it, refreshing them in the icy water after the 2.30 hrs they had been constrained in closed shoes; I spread-out my sweaty clothing and put on a clean T-shirt and a light fleece jumper for the air was quite brisk at 2000m and I wanted to rest and enjoy my apple for a bit.

I started on my way back down pretty soon though, as there were clouds coming in from the peaks above the lake, and some coming up from the bottom of the valley, and I didn't want to be stuck in the middle.
After a couple of hours of descent, from a slightly different (and worse) trail than that I used to come up, I reached the village I started from still in time for a spot of lunch, then I waited for Rosie to come back from her Mountaineering School teaching lesson.
Good job I always have a book with me ;-)
