I went on the Easier walk today because I thought I could manage 1600feet of ascent and descent but not the 3000 on the Harder walk.

We walked straight up one side of a (small) mountain, and over the coll to descend into another valley. It was a hard slog.

When we reached the mountain hut, the heavens opened. I was sitting at an outside table, slurping soup, at the precise moment. Here are Audrey and Brian sitting opposite. They did not know us before the holiday, but are planning on coming to the Walking Festival in October.

The rain stopped, the ground was steaming and we walked along the valley to catch a bus to Zakopane. Since then, we have been in the middle of a big thunderstorm and the skies are dark.
