Forest thaw
... was overcast, as predicted by the weather forecast. It certainly wasn't cold and the final few kilometers along the lake to the south of Achensee turned into a gentle stroll. A welcome beer in a village cafe and ice cream for the weak-willed. Back to the hotel after a 7-8 miles' walk and a welcome afternoon snooze.

S'pose Barry and I will have to play Cribbage ...
It's snow time
Sunday 28 October Achenkirch 3-4" of snow overnight leaving a Christmassy landscape. After a home-made breakfast we ventured out of the hotel and headed off into the village centre of Achenkirch, 2 kms down the main road. The roads were clear, but no obvious sign of footpaths under the snow. We finally picked up a local road that led us into the village.
