I don’t know how much longer I will join these walks. They walk a little too slowly for my temperament, and today I was frozen to the bones for most of the walk, especially at the end. I guess that is the one and only downside of having lost quite a lot of weight: you feel the cold more. I used to be the last to feel cold. It is not because I am not wearing many layers of clothes. Perhaps I should look into investing in some special underwear for these occasions.
Also a bit too much chitchat for my taste, nobody enjoying the quiet of the forest, but I guess the name indicates that that is actually the purpose.
Also, it seems absurd to me to get on one’s way sometimes as early as 7.30 (and, in the case of today, in minus 7 C) in the middle of winter in order to join a short-ish walk that for some inscrutable reason which seems to be a secret starts at 9.00. Especially since this also means travelling in the one hour where public transport is at its fullest. But there must be a reason why the start can’t be postponed till 10.00. I just can’t see it.
With the morning looking like this, as change from weeks and weeks of thick fog, I was finally tempted to be on my way:
And it really did turn out to be a sunny, if – to me – bitterly cold day, and the frost did give the landscape a kind of dreamy look. The walk was really lovely, aart from the issues I now seem to have with the cold :-).
Pitstop before catching an S Bahn back here.
