Prepared the evening before packing my bag, checking the various sources for weather forecasts and reviewed and planned the route and left info with a friend. On the day itself before setting off (very early in the morning) there was a lot of low clouds, fog and rain. For a minute I doubted if I should start the walk with limited visibility. However I decided to go ahead since the first part of the walk was over a path and the fog could clear. So I still could easily turn around. The fog did clear and I walked up the summits. Throughout the day the cloud came and went. Once on the descent the weather came in and it started to rain heavily. By then I was already on low grounds and on the track back do the starting point. My compass broke midway during the walk and I used my watch and view ranger app on my phone (I always carry a power pack to be able to recharge my phone). My spare compass wasn't in the usual place in my bag. Upon return to my car it turned out it had some how fallen out of my bag and found it in the booth of my car. A lesson learned to check and double check again to make sure I have everything with me.
