Running 1:17:48 [3] 7.25 km (10:44 / km) +340m 8:42 / km
After visiting the source of the Sargue which is famous as it seems the biggest source in Europe feeding from an immense underground reservoir, I wanted to try an "easy" hike (thus it was written on a pamphlet) and went up the dirt road going along the canyon of the Vaucluse. I felt that I was up on those zig-zags pretty quickly and decided instead of going the same way down, I would close the loop and call Urs to pick me up a little further along the road.
However, after a farm (which I saw) and running along a wall looking for a left-handed turnoff of a trail, I kept on downhill on that road, checked with Strava that it did pretty much (still) go along with the sketch on the pamphlet I had.
However, I realised quickly getting further and further down the slope, now in a big field of vineyards that things didn't match up anymore. But my goal was down the slope. I called Urs to warn him and asked him to wait for me along the road, where I didn't quite know yet. At a trail veering off to the left, I followed it down until I reached a water canal and followed it until suddenly I found myself on a high and long equaduct traversing two roads and a valley. Wow! At least I was down now. Realising that Urs would be on this side, I clambered down steeply besides the equaduct onto the road. Little later Urs could pick me up, whew! What adventures on something that looked simple and easy but wasn't in places when following descriptions.
Though felt good and actually could push the downhills quite a bit (also bc I was a bit scared how to reach the road).
