Waking up, it looked very grey and wet outside, but it soon improved,
We waited a little for things to calm down in the hut and other people to leave, before we got up and made some breakfast. We weren’t in a rush after all, and was ready to go around 10am-ish. I am still not wearing a watch and the time really does not matter. The weather improved and the sun broke through improving the general mood of the crowd… motivated by going home and hot chips in Culverden. Beautiful forest and soon we were over the first swing bridge.
The trail back got easier and the our pace improved, walking next the larger Nina / Boyle river and open patches of grasslands here and there. I supplied to a bag of party mix to lift the spirits for the last uphill climb.
Before we new it, we were at the second and final swing bridge of the trail. We could almost smell the cars (and the hot chips). A nice walk to open my season and warm up for the TA trail and awesome company to do it with. I wish it could have been a little longer, but all good things must come to an end.
