Day 127: Cow at night, GPS problems and not much water

Last night I was woken up by a cow 2 rimes, which was close to my tent and loudly muuing, probably being confused and annoyed by my tent and me.

The morning was very overcast and cold and I doubted that the weatherforcast would be coming true, which was calling for sun and higher temperatures.

But later that day, it became nicer, but still with a lot of clouds, so I couldn't charge my battery very much. In addition, my GPS was not finding/having a hard time finding my location this afternoon. So I used up lots of battery power. I hope I can charge a bit more the next days, since its still a few days to go! And that my GPS will work properly again, since trail marking is partly good, but here in the Eastern part not sufficient.

Hiking was again mainly on forest roads and along bushy vegetation, but I also had a nice short part on a single trail through a nice beech forest. Ups and downs are getting smaller, now that I come closer to the sea. But it also gets more populated  Tomorrow I should pass through at least 1 village!

Water was rather scared today. I found only 1 water source that still had water. Actually, there was a little stream today as well, but with so much garbage, that I didn't wanted to drink it. Tonight, there should have been plenty of water sources, but all of them were dry and so I continued a little further than planned. Finally, on the other side of the hills, there was water!!! I filled my water bag and looked for a campspot, which I found in some shrubs on a hill. I guess I will have to be more careful with water the next days, since not all sources still have water!


A great view this afternoon when I left the forest once

That's what I was mainly walking on today - autumn is coming!

Shelter with the appreciated water source in the afternoon

Dry pasture land at night and no water

Beautiful sunset from my camping hill
