As per weatherforecast, it is raining heavily this morning. Clouds hang low over Blatten whilst my dad heads off on the postbus to Brig, to return two hours later. The rain does not relent, and I make good progress in Tom Jones, a rather saucy 18th century novel by Henry Fielding. After lunch, I go for a short walk through the village, amongst very poor visibility. The empty cable car looms up out of the cloud as I walk past the post office and up the hill towards the Rischinen road. The rain stops at 4pm and the cloud breaks at 6pm. After dinner, we head out towards the Gebidum reservoir. Once there, a stunning vista opens of the Fusshorner looming up high above, looming to peaks of 10 to 12 thousand feet in altitude. The lake's waters are coloured green, and the viewpoint requires a head for heights. There is a climbing route right round the Gebidum lake - no thanks. My GPS has difficulties around the rockface, showing considerable aberrations as a result.
