A slightly late start as we went to the
Thomsons welcome meeting. We took the Ahorn cable car and had a wander around on
top. There is a big walk to the top of the Ahornspitze but this is far too
demanding for us. Instead we climbed the tourist route to the Filzenkogel. This
is actually the start of a ridge, the Filzenschneid, which curls round to the
Ahornspitze and I thought that we should just see how far along it we could.
However I think that Beryl was disconcerted by the warning signs saying that
there were no marked paths and it was for experienced walkers only. I thought we
fitted the bill but I don't think that Beryl was convinced about my translation.
She got up the next bump, didn't like the descent and became really worried by
the next section and stopped. I was permitted to do one more bump and then we
both turned back. A same because much of it looked very doable. Instead we had a
drink/sunbathe at one of the many huts up there.
