On Whether to Do a Hike and a Via Ferrata on the Same Day

Two weeks ago I thought that I would have an issue with this weekend and I was right. I thought that I would want to do a hike with one group, and do a Via Ferrata with a second group. That situation is now a reality.

A Good Hiking Group and a Goal I want to Reach

I have wanted to walk up to the Dent De Vaulion for a few weeks now, and on Saturday I have the opportunity to do this with a group, rather than alone. Not only this, but it’s also a group that I appreciated being with two weeks ago. I want to experience that group again on Saturday. The issue is that it’s a 13km walk with 700m of climbing. In my experience the distance is usually longer than planned, and if it is sunny and warm then heat fatigue is possible.

Reading Rather than Sleeping

Last night I went to bed at a reasonable time. I took the time for a three pass shave with a DE blade, and then I browsed content. Eventually, at a reasonable time I opened the Kindle app on my phone to see how the choice of books has changed since the last time I looked. The result is that I found a new series of books to read.

I settled on The Complete McGann Naval Adventures. It was 2300 or midnight when I started to read and by the time I stopped reading it was beyond three in the morning. For some reason I was not tired.
