There was another\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">thick snow<\/span>\u00a0which had become watery soft at this time of day. As a result, I was often knee-deep in it. The last part next to the lagoon, the path was no longer even visible and you had to follow tracks of predecessors. On one occasion I sank my left leg Q-deep, i.e. to my rear, into a hole. My predecessor had been wearing snowshoes, you don't sink with those. With one leg up to your hip in the snow, you are in no easy position to hoist yourself back out of there... With the help of my walking sticks, I managed.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">I almost did\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">two hours over that last 2.5 km<\/span>.

It had frozen back a bit during the night and a little way ahead of me a group was walking without snowshoes.

Today Saturday, it was crowded in the opposite direction. Early in the morning the 'real ones' with backpack, piolet, musquetons and ropes to go climbing. Later in the morning families on trainers, some even in shorts.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">When I arrived back at the car park around noon, I was tired but satisfied that I had succeeded.
