Toblerones

Running from Nyon to Gland via the Toblerones

Yesterday I went out in track suit trousers, a t-shirt and minimal other stuff. The plan was to run just three to four kilometres. I planned not to cross any busy roads. I had this plan because I felt that I needed a day of rest after yesterday’s bike ride.

Garmin wanted me to run for an hour, and Suunto wanted me to have a half hour run. I don’t remember what Apple apps wanted. I chose to follow the Garmin recommendation because I felt fine. I ran into Nyon, and then through the town, and then instead of going through the railway tunnel I turned right. This took me up a little climb, before taking me up another little climb, before taking me down to the lake.

Hidden among the trees in the Canton de Vaud you can find concrete blocks put there as a defensive line to slow down invading armies. The concrete blocks have a similar shape to chocolate Toblerones. There is a hiking trail that you can follow from Bassin down to the lake side. Along the way you can find concrete bunkers camouflaged as houses.
