A couple Images from Day 3 of the Trek

The day was cold and damp. 2C in the valley, and colder up top. It had rained during the night and the early morning. The trails were steep and slick. We walked through damp clouds most of the day, looking forward to the stop at the local refuge where we could get hot wine, coffee and cocoa, along with a generous helping of myrtle berry (blue berry) tart. We wondered if we would get a view of anything but grey gloom, when suddenly, for just a few minutes while we ate our lunch, the sun came out.
