I can imaging what you feel, the nature, the fresh air, the trees and everything what you see. Outdoor and finding your way together with friends; is surely one of my favourites. And what are you lucky to have that scenery so close in your country. We here in Holland have to do it without Hills and waterfall.....
But Anyway, later today when I make my hike through the forest, I will remember those pictures and make my hike that way also feel better.
