A good walk.

The track was damp when we did it but easily passable. To the lake from the other end was 3.5 hours walking plus stopping time. A pleasant nature experience.

Did a nature walk along the Oirase river/stream. It was a wet day and a bit muddy and terrain a bit uneven at many parts, but I survived. Better than sweltering hot. Glad I wore my walking boot which kept my feet safe and dry....More
