Report

What started as a crazy idea turned out into this amazing, breath taking adventure. The route was not too technical and because I took one of the first shuttles, I was able to pass a lot of people on the first uphill section which allowed me to have a lot of the trail to myself. It was a beautiful environment, clearly taken care of and also very well marked. 

The day was gorgeous, not too warm nor too many clouds, but once I got down I noticed the impact of the heat so don't underestimate that even though it might not feel that hot.
