finding way [Exhaust Running Report, August 19th 2020]

I love how this app, inCollage, is able to put photos together. There are 11 photos in the cover image. Fabulous.

This afternoon the plan was to run around 10 k on a not too demanding terrain. OK, more the general idea.

Because I managed to complicate things, of course.

After the initial flat and asphalt kilometer I found myself in the forest.

My shoes, On Cloudsurfer 2, are not meant for this terrain. These are not trail shoes at all. Nevertheless, I love to run anywhere in any kind of shoes. It's good to surprise your feet and make your mind more alert.

After the downhill section I turned to a valley which I rarely run in. It's a side valley on the eastern part of the ridge towards Rašica. There is a gravel road in very poor condition in it ...

... Leading you to this gate.

It's an abandoned explosives warehouse.

After turning back I asked myself should I return the way I came or rather try to find the way up there.

The ridge above is where I came from. Of course, the answer was ...

... Find the way up. It was a muddy service road for the ley lines.

I was closer to my goal already.

The road turned into a steep and slippery path. Lumberjacks are to blame for this mess.

Finally, I was almost on the ridge and catching the last rays of setting sun.

I climbed to and bumped into the main path, then turned to my left at this junction.

After a kilometer I was where I wanted to be and enjoyed the view back to where I started exploring.

At this point I was 1.2 kilometers away from home, down and fkat. Or ... I couldn't take the easy way so I continued around the hill.

The trail down was messy and covered with trunks and branches again.

After some searching the right way through the bush I saw the houses. Civilisation, finally.

From here it was less that 2 K to the home. A happy trail runner in flat shoes :)

All this finding the way resulted in a fine drawing on the map. 10 K with 200 meters of climb. Great!

I hope that you enjoyed this short photo story.
