Grimy 15 km slightly downhill to catch a bus, legs dead

Starting the day with the overly optimistic aim of getting to Prisank before the end of the day. The first descent took near enough 4 hours so that went out the window! Instead, we happened upon a both at around 12 despite having not known they were a thing in the area. Had lunch, dumped our stuff then nipped up the 1000m climb to Stenar. Again, the group was divided, Peters, who had been beaten into submission by the day before and a grim descent, stayed at the hut and chilled while Callum and I climbed to the saddle. I then climbed to the top while he ran down. Then there was the grimmest 1200m descent I have ever done, legs were already fooked from going up so they weren't functioning...

Spent the day travelling from Ljubljana to lake Bohinj and then walking up to Kredarica hut just below Triglav. Lovely walk at a pretty solid pace the whole way, sweating buckets!

We went for a pre dinner attempt up Triglav but realised quite quickly that there wouldn't be enough time to get us all up and down (Callum also looked like he'd seen a ghost). Instead I ran/walked up on my own and had a little sit down at the top before running down. Tried to avoid touching the Via Ferrata stuff as I possibly could as it was unnecessary in a lot of places. Got down in ~20 minutes for a lovely bowl of bean stew, lavely.
