• Starting the trek

    August 5 in Scotland 🌧 13 °C

    The main idea of this trip was to do the skye trekking. A 7 day trekking with 3500 meters of elevation gain and about 100km.
    At least that was the plan before I knew that I would be moving around the world and thinking I would be recovered.
    I was still with in injury in my leg after not recovering sufficiently but I wanted to give it a shot.
    We left our airbnb in the morning with the backpacks to go to portree on skye. In portree we waited for some time, saw a music parade and got a bus to the beginning of the trekking.
    A red phone booth that we would soon see again.
    We met some more Germans and started the trek together.
    With sideways rain and patagonian winds we started with full motivation. Luckily today was only 2km to a bothy, a very basic hut for hikers.
    We arrived there around six with already 15 people in a hut made for 3. Everything's was soaking wet.
    During the hike my injury felt fine but as soon as we stopped I started to feel it quite a bit.
    After some instant noodles with ibuprofen we went to sleep on the floor, happy to not be outside.
