Vérteskozma 20. Only did the 20 because I didn't want to keep Mariann waiting but the opposite happened as I was faster than I feared even being able to jog the downhills - where the mud wasn't too bad. Of course it was probably better that I did the 20 from the point of view of my leg which is, thank God, slowly getting better, thus the downhill jogging. I chose this walk rather than the new walk in Bajna because this was the last edition. One advantage of doing the 20 was that I actually did parts of two paths which, as far as I could remember, I had never done before.

The combination of the rain, which soon stopped, and the Bajna walk, meant there were a lot less people (about 200 in total) which showed itself esp. by the lack of parked cars. One good thing about this walk is that there are people at every EP. You all get a coloured map and home-made jam sandwiches at the end, plus warmish tea.

There was 100 metres of climbing in the first 2 kms and 147 metres until the start of the downhill after maybe 2.79 kms, just after the first EP. 9.29,9.20,8.34,8.12,8.35,7.52,9.39,9.03,9.17,7.13 (the downhill into Gesztes), 8.25,10.52,6.37,8.02,8.27,6.42,6.26,5.24 (Sárkányvölgy - I had a PS here which was actually good news - my first PS since when????),6.17,8.18,7.45,7.5 average. I'm not sure which way we were supposed to go to the finish - maybe I should have gone the short way.

Of course Ádam and József (Pinter) where amnning the 2nd EP, along with Ági, Ádam's daughter, the first time I had met her.
