Wednesday 18 October: a quieter day – the wind has dropped, it’s dry, and it’s mostly dull. There’s no drama in the lighting, but we’ll take the camera anyway, for a walk up the Hinnisdal forest road. We need a leg stretch, and there’s a good surface here, all the way to the ford – which today is unfordable. The stepping-stones are submerged in October. We’ve walked far enough now, and though we’ll be retracing our steps, the views are different.
