Once at Top Camp, I reviewed the behavior of meshtastic nodes about the plateau. Chat performance is good, but some units are not updating positions consistently This needs more study. Jono ran the Stone Bridge fixed node to the top of Niederes augst-eck.

Canyoning - Canyoning Trip
An impromptu canyoning trip was proposed late one rainy afternoon and in the hopes that I would be propelled out of a post illness blues,I tagged along. I would like to take the opportunity to emphasize my love for swimming and all things aquatic despite some slander from other logbook entries. In fact, the trip reminded all of us of the joys of canyoning. Jono in particular relished in a well earned break from his endless shepherding duties.

The gloomy weather, still pools of greenish water and dark rock which enclosed us created an eerie atmosphere. The water temperature was quite pleasant but at times could be much more frigid depending on the pool. There were plenty of opportunities for jumping which Charlotte, Jono, Wookey and Isaac bravely dared while I mostly avoided them (my outdoor enthusiasm was still not at 100%). At times the canyon threatened to keep us within its clutches the rocks were so slippery. Isaac remarked that he felt like he was experiencing an accelerated version of evolution as he slithered out of the water. A few long stretches of canal at the end led Wookey to comment that it was mostly a glorified nature swim, but one that was at least enjoyed by (pretty much) all until the very end.
