It was a nice short walk although the first part is steep and was boggy, but it was possible to bypass the worse sections. Like two days ago the wind was still very strong in some parts, but no rain or mist this time, so I had great views, especially towards the lawers which I enjoyed on my descend.
Short walk - short report, and more pictures, I hope you enjoy it:
