Alpbach - Mars Summer School
Saturday Hike - Part 4
|
a final look at the spectacular scenery before..
|
|
|
a marked reduction in visibility as the cloud cover moved in..
|
|
This may look out of focus, but we were now engulfed in mist
soon turned to a persistent rain..
|
|
|
At last we reach the summit, where the soggy group
gather to admire a panoramic view of mist, uninterrupted
by scenery.
|
|
and of course to pose for a photographic record of the
momentous event..
|
|
|
Just below the summit is a slight rocky overhang
where we are able to huddle briefly for lunch.
|
|
and then we embark on our slippery decent.
|
|
|
with still plenty of rain..
|
|
and still quite limited visibility
|
|
|
the weather begins to clear as we emerge back into the
farmland.
|
|
This bad cow was one of the culprits that had been
teasing us, impersonating Johannes by ringing a replica
of our 'morning tea' bell as we were struggling up the mountain..
|
|
|
a group heads off for morning tea??
