Garmin is dead.
Ran semi free, with a plan to go out 30mins then head back. Followed the Geneva side footpath and found some new villages with the added attraction that the fountains are all open and flowing with ice cold melt water from the mountains. Previously they were closed to protect them from the ice.
However, the usual non-lake side problem arose after about one mile. Sheer climb, no hope of any speed much above walking so just think of form enjoy the view and soak up the environment. Spotted M. et Mme. feeding the chickens. Some else tending their vines.
Weather was perfect, cool, clear, crisp and sunny. Came off the yellow dimonds just before half way, but found them again. Even better the route I did find had a fancy 3 on it and some verbage below it which basically announced the panoramic walk - did exactly what it said of on the tin. Outbound views of Geneva with the jet d'eau and on the way back the french alps and the other end of the lake with the chateau de Rolle below. Stunning stuff.
58 mins on feet must have done at least 6 miles, yes that many. So steep. Too steep. I will crack this.
