Hot, steep and thirsty

Walk listed on All Trails next to nearby reservoir. After a short detour to a supermarket pharmacy parked near the top of a dam and headed into the woods along a wide track. Hot and uphill (didn't start walking until 12.30) but not unpleasant.

Quick lunch on top with surprisingly quite a few other people walking by and around. A steep downhill with 2-3 excellent viewpoints over the lake.

problem started arising that CW had minimal water, and only I had food. The walk back along was much longer than expected, and 1-2 scarbbly bits, and with quite bad dehydration and not much food to work on, most of the party thought it was a very difficult walk and much too long. My diagnosis is that lack of water and food, and starting at 12.30, were the main problems - I thought the walk along the lake was great!

Anyway emergency drinks and Ice cream taken before return to Cabina Berg for BBQ and wine.Read more
