Neither of these applied yesterday. Water was pouring down from the murky sky as I started to walk off from the Nakayamaga station to the car park from where the actual hike began. This quite dull passage already took about 60 minutes to wend.
Slippery mud slopes, more rain, and several chains were the things encountered after 45 minutes in the bush. This hike was to be disastrous - I thought.
No good photo opportunities, just turn back and... Suddenly the sky cleared out from clouds and revealed blue, and steam heated by sun started to rise from the valleys. The beauty of nature made an astonishing appearance. Having to bare 2,5 hours of misery, I took this fantastic event as a reward.
From here on the weather was fine enough to dry clothes at the peak.
The cheerful train conductor at Nakayamaga station gave me an umbrella in the morning for the rain and sweets when returned in the evening.
