A Windy Walk in Geneva

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Today I went to Geneva. I considered going by car, and then either going to do the Fort L'écluse via ferrata or dropping by decathlon. In the end I took the train and walked around Geneva. I went to Geneva to pick up the things for the Vernier run on Friday morning.

I chose to go by train, rather than by car, because by car it would have taken the same amount of time but used petrol and I would have paid for parking.

I'm glad I did go by train. It gave me 6kms of walking in and around Nyon as well as several kilometres in Geneva. In Geneva though, I was sheltered by buildings. Once I got to the lake side and felt how strong the wind was I got a few shots (video) of the Ecolint flags blowing in the wind before finding that I was tired. I decided not to film the waves having fun with the wind because the wind knackered me.

The wind is so strong that you can see clouds skidding across the sky with the naked eye, without timelapse video.

I find that heavy winds are the most difficult conditions for walking in. The wind is strong. It can be cold. It can be hard to walk forward, or perpendicular to the wind, and it's noisy. Windy conditions, and hail, are what make me want to stay indoors.
