Today we were out and about at the Linach Reservoir again. Despite the fog and drizzle, it was truly mystical on some stretches. 6°C (43°F) plus is the ideal hiking temperature for me.

We had problems getting started, but then it worked.
Some caches were very well hidden, so we had to search for them for a while.
The route has no significant inclines and in very nice weather it was a pleasure.
