Today was a day that can only be described as extreme, when on the top the clouds descended with heavy rain and visibility vanished. Coming off the tops was like the descent in an airplane, total cloud then a glimpse of the ground, then dropping below it altogether. The up side to this was I had to take a path I had not used before just to get off the top, which resulted in the discovery of a mountain stream, and that reminded me of an advert for menthol cigarettes, but I will return when the weather is not as pants as it was today.
