12:30 pm — TSH, day 31

Since I had to walk quite the mileage through the city streets at 6am I was already walking. And at 9am it was already as hot as you can imagine.

Most of today’s trail was running over flat /shadowless/ valleys between mountains so the walk would be easy if it wasn’t that hot.

7:00 pm — Wrapping the day

At the end of the day the trail went into the mountains and in the end I failed to get to a decent destination spot. Thus I’m simply staying at the mountain top /with no view/ amongst the trees and 20-30 minutes away from a drinking water source (about 160m of altitude change). I went once with an empty bottle and jetboil and secured some water reserve for myself. Jetboil I’m going to use right away to cook some noodles and the bottle I’ll save for tomorrow’s breakfast and/or walking (the water is spring water and I’m ok to drink it without boiling).
