Hahaha, how fucking brilliant was that! We just had the very best adventure hike. All weather situations except for hail. Drizzle, bright sunshine, a tad of wind, still air, storm, rain, lightning and thunder, torrential rain and finally freezing rain. In just two and a half hours only possible in April. At the end we got into heavy downpour just when I wanted to take a photo of a little tadpole in the day before yesterday's spat puddle. In literally under three seconds we were completely soaked. Like 100% wet. We ran to the forest kindergarden a few hundred meters to seek shelter. On the positive side our muddy shoes got thoroughly washed. Now to get get everything dried off again.
Drake in a dirty pond
Yesterday it started storming, in the evening we also got some well needed rain. Nature is really suffering from drought. This continued today with much more rain, so it was very wet everywhere. Quite amazing to see swelling creeks and puddles all over the place. We were surprised to discover a lot of places with standing or flowing water that we've never came across in such a state. Right in the beginning we came across a duck and a drake. They then flew off and returned in a very large circle, but sadly veered away when they noticed that the two umbrella guys were still there. A bit later we saw three drakes in another pond with no females around.
On the outbound trip we didn't run across anybody. Literally zero people. The storm and liquid sunshine must have scared off people. Rightly so, not even 100m across an anjoining woodland we heard a tree falling over from the storm gusts. So then we decided to quickly leave the small spruce tree area we were in at 07.
Right after descending the mountain top a few meters we ran across the first other fearless hiker of the day. Then back at the village four other people were headed for the summit, but it already started to rain. They were too late. But that was it, back to deserted paths. Nice.
@lyse Quite the adventure indeed. 😲
@justamoment Oh yes, no doubt about that. Would do it again. ;-) @movq Yeah, the announced nice Unwetter was delivered. We got the thunderstorm on top for free, though. The kindergarden had conveniently provided a thermometer next to the canopied entrance where we took cover, so we know that it had dropped from around 12°C when we started to just 7°C. The thermometer was actually terribly designed, it was quite hard to read. It took us half a minute to figure out what these weird split up numbers and dashes wanted to tell us. Surprisingly, I wasn't too badly cold, although my boots and pants were soaked. The roofed structure also provided perfect shelter from the wind. We waited until the rain decreased and then went on. We reached home just a few minutes later. Only that last part was a tad chilly on the wet legs with the wind.
