This was another big day out on the hills, hiking solo with a heavy pack. My focus was on trying out different trails and testing my nutrition plan in preparation for longer, more challenging days. The weather was overcast with no wind, which made for steady, comfortable hiking conditions. Despite the lack of challenging weather, the significant distance and elevation gain with a heavy pack provided a solid test of my endurance and planning. The hike went smoothly, and I gained valuable insights into my nutrition strategy, which I’ll apply in future outings.
