Experiments in the rain
Enchanted Path : the path to Tadiyendamol; wet, fresh and green in the rain.
There we were last Saturday, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
bchandan and I, with plastic sheets over ourselves and our bags, walking on the path to Tadiyendamol, enjoying the rain and the lush green that surrounded us. The adventure started when we went around a small hill closer to the base of the peak, where the wind howled across the valley and the water got to us not caring for the plastic sheets we were trying to put between ourselves and the rain. The experiments started when we tried to put up the tent without getting ourselves completely wet; we did put up the tent but got ourselves completely wet in the process. We decided to wait and see if the weather got any better, it did not and only got worse; in the mean time a few other day-trippers came along and enquired on the distance to the peak from there: the visibility was about 60ft and we told everyone it was an hours climb from there, a few went forward but came back pretty soon. After having our lunch in the tent, we too decided to pack up; waited for a slight letup in the rain and packed up the tent as quickly as we could and headed back, towards Mysore, with a plan to visit Somnathpur the next day.
