Millstone Hill seemed like a good idea to gain some experience in some weather that isn't exactly pleasant :) Trying to gain a little bit of more experience in the rain, and eventually the snow. May have to wait a until winter for that to happen though!

So when work was finished we set off in high hopes that the rain would clear. It did not. I don't think I have ever been so soaked before :lol:

Upon arrival, we noticed that we were all alone in the car park. I can't imagine why it would be full though :lol:

After a quick look at the signs at the bottom, we set off. Things looked a bit easy to start with. We found out it wasn't all like this :lol:

When the trail became steeper, we realised how well the area was preserved.

We came across a good place for a little breather. Would have had a great view on a better day.

Well we made it at the top with a lot of rain and wind! But even though the weather sucked, the feeling of getting to the top is still the same :D
