We’re planning a week of walking** in the Swiss mountains in June (!) and while it is still three months away, it will undoubtedly be upon us in an instant.

So tomorrow I’m going to embark on a lunch time quest to find a couple of shirts for hiking. I suspect this will be no easy mission. I’m picky and bristle a bit at the exorbitant cost of hiking gear.

I also probably need one or two pairs of decent merino socks. I have only one pair, which is a completely amazing pair, but probably insufficient to get me through a week.

excellent socks bought in Munich

And maybe one of those puffy jackets that roll up to essentially nothing. And some binoculars, and maybe a head lamp.

It’s an expensive slippery slope!
