Hill Walking 5:00:00 [2] 18.0 km (16:40 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Waverider 13
Laugavegur - Day 3
Emstrur to Thorsmork
Walked across a gorge to start off with, had to use a chain to descend a short distance too. Then we'd a bit of up and down along a sandy area. The wind was behind us all the way which was good. I would not have enjoyed walking into it like the people we met this morning had to.
We had a river to cross today, Kieran said it was a tough one when he did the walk before. But we were glad to find the river smaller than it was for Kieran before. I put on my Inov8s for the crossing, didn't like doing the rivers in bare feet yesterday. So got across handily enough.
After the river we entered a forested section before a final short climb and descent through forest to the last hut of the trip.
