One of the classic walks around one of the best national parks for hiking in the world. Hmmm. Unfortunately you need sun for all the postcard views… (low hanging cloud doesn´t do much for 3000m peaks )

Anyway, it was still a great day´s walking and we saw loads of cool scenery (glaciers, etc), the only thing I couldn´t help but be disappointed with was that it was hailing when we were at the highlight (Laguna de los Tres at the base of Cerro Fitz Roy) at 11am and the skies had cleared by 3pm. Did I mention the wind in a previous post? I thought say Scotland had some changeable weather, but this place really is something different. It does really make it an interesting exercise because even if you get up and the sky is clear, you still have NO idea what kind of day it´s going to be.

Oh well, the good part is that we´ll be back in exactly the same place, doing exactly the same walk, in about two weeks time on a separate trip (a trek of a couple of days, rather than just the day walk we did the other day), so fingers we can cheat the weather after all with our second chance draw :)

Now just need to catch up on some sleep and let the blisters heal (48kms in two days was just a little too much…) between now and then. I guess that´s what the truck is for
