Saturday October 13th - Much the same format as the week before, except a different route, this time around the North of the lake. Once again a bus took us up to the start point - a road amongst the farmland above Toya. Which was like standing in a wind tunnel, was freezing up there! Craig was finally back in action so he joined Team Sogo (my newly coined term for the regular walkers from work, myself, Hiromi and Omori-san)
Yet again it was a fantastic day for the walk, if a little cold. Since its now Autumn here the trees around Toya all all changing into fantastic shades of red and orange. Something I rarely payed much attention to when I was in Britain, seemingly its only when you live surrounded by forest and carry a camera with you all the time that you notice these things more. Craig and I were looking after the few kids who were on the walk. Haruca-chan for the walk, one of the girls from Irie Nursery in Abuta, and two of the boys from the elementary school, who lately have been a bit of a pain in the arse. Haruca made a habit of running along dragging me behind her in little bursts before she’d fall over again. And by halfway through I was giving her a piggyback the whole way, 7km or however long it was, seemingly was too far for her. Main reason for this post was to draw attention to some of the photos I took. Check the Photography section for the whole lot! Album Link
