I can't confirm Chantal like this. It is not wanted to go the way. But it works without any problems. It looks angrier than it is.

On this day, the warm-up was supposed to be trekking in the mountains, but the weather turned bad and we had to change our plans. A short walk and back to the parking lot in the rain.
