Ela + 7

It's been a week of storm clearance here since Ela swept through.

I no longer awake to a dawn chorus of fire engine sirens or for that matter of chain saws, but the clean up is by no stretch of the imagination done.

On the positive side, the walk/scramble along the river was pleasant without the cyclists who treat the path as cyclists only, forgetting they have to share, I guess they're put off by the idea of having to dismount several times and lift their bikes over fallen tree trunks. The only question for Logan is over, under or through.

The sign that has been carefully repositioned after being knocked off its more usual steel post (of which there is no sign) reads "walk in the woods at your own risk", the sign predates Ela, so they're probably even more gefährlich now, I'll keep out.
