So last night it rained very heavily pretty much the whole night. I made a recording on my phone (a decent digital recorder didn’t make the cut of things to take unfortunately):
The tent stood up well to the rain. The inner tent was completely dry in the morning, but the outer tent was soaked inside and out.
It had stopped raining by 8am or so (well just a light drizzle) so I got up and packed up the wet tent. Too damp to hang around for breakfast so I just got on my way as soon as I could.
The hills were covered with mist and cloud.
Things started brightening up within an hour or two. I thought best to keep on pedalling.
At some point today I lost one glove, so I’ll be stopping in at a bike shop for gloves and air at the next big town, which will probably be Lindau.
A very hilly route today – probably the hilliest – but all on good road surfaces, so progress wasn’t too bad. I reached over 1,000 m altitude too at this point:
Around 3pm (I think) and well aware my tent was soaked and the sun was out, I decided to check in at a camp site that was en route.
With my tent drying really quickly in the afternoon sun, I took a break 🙂
With no clean cycling clothes, I also took the opportunity to get up to date with my laundry.
A very nice campsite and the woman at reception kindly charged up my battery. A pizza and salad from the campsite for dinner brings today to a close.
Bannwaldsee to Großer Alpsee, 72 km. Total so far = 1,847 km.
