Today’s walk as seen from our naya
Only 12 of us for todays walk
Might be because I wrote it up as our hardest walk
Which it is, and I wanted everyone to be prepared
We had 19 on last week’s walk
So the numbers speak for themselves
It is almost four years since I last did this walk
But I remembered the route ok and did not need my satnav
We made good progress to the banana stop
Where the views were just as impressive as I remembered them
Right from the start I found it more difficult than when I last did it
And I was not alone
As expected it got much harder after our banana break
One member in particular really struggled
But we all made it safely to the top
Where we all recovered during our picnic stop
Once again it was difficult to find the path
And it was more difficult to follow than last time
It was much easier walking on the ridge
And we had frequent water stops to admire the view
Always good to see the observation hut
Where the long winding road starts
Which leads to the Col de Rates and our waiting cars
Temperature – 16-21c
Time taken – 6 hours
Distance – 10 km
Total Ascent – 685 metres
