Overnight rain and a slow packing up meant I didn't leave until 10.45.
A long plod uphill with a sticky surface after the rain brought me above spectacular cliffs. The rest of the days 13km was up and down, gradually gaining height.
For the 1st day the scenery was a delight.
I saw a female ibex type creature at one point, and plenty of birds.
The cold wind and cloudy periods meant I was putting on and taking off layers constantly.
When I arrived at the forest house reserve I was disappointed to find no fire or stove, there's masses of wood everywhere !
The place was smart and clean. I had to walk over 1km before I found a trickle of water, mmm
It's going to be an early night methinks.
