I had hoped to get out for a hike with Izzy yesterday afternoon, but she was able to make last minute plans with a friend from school so we weren’t able to get out with Hoagie. The forecast for today was sunny, cold and windy. So, a perfect morning for a hike.
It certainly felt like a winter day today. The sun only crept 10 degrees or so above the horizon at its zenith. The wind was whipping up the waves in the lake and chilling us through our coats and scarves. The shallow inlets and coves around the island were covered with a skin of ice think enough for Hoagie to poke his head through for a drink.
Izzy and I bundled up in coats, hats, gloves and scarves for the 5km walk around the island; Hoagie wore his sweater. The temperature wasn’t terrible, just below freezing, but the wind made it cold. We skipped the optional look around Musön, the island just north of Hissö.
The trail was more crowded than I’ve experienced in my recent weekday walks here. However it is school break and the sun was out, so I shouldn’t have been surprised. I did have to keep Hoagie on the leash more than I’m sure he wanted.
