Winter, eh? To my temperate climate eye that look like late Spring! I had such a great time reading this! So witty and fun:)
l actually do like good challenging hike. If you are well prepared - it can be good fun... or not :D
Lack of more wild life indeed disappointing! Monkey looks chill though :)
Yup winter :) Freezing 10 celcius , ohhhh the suffering. Yeah it was at least not too challenging I enjoyed just brute forcing my way over things with not too much thought , felt it though when it was over, I was sooooo stiff. All in all pretty good though.
Freezing 10 Celsius :D No need for jackets or jumpers I take :D
Oh man, in Poland there is sometimes -20, and even -30 sometimes:)
I guess it is a good thing to try new stuff, even if you are positive it's not your cup of tea. There is always a chance you will find new experience useful in some way:)
