| Early morning cloud |
A planned walk in the Anaga region was changed at the last minute because of a bad weather forecast so I headed off to the Mirador de Chirche to do a walk that I had previously done on a beautiful sunny day last year. Setting off as the sun struggled to pierce the gloomy dawn, I had to wear my waterproof to combat the cold drizzle but as I started to climb, my attention was drawn to the clouds swirling around the nearby hills.

The initial part of the walk followed steep, lava strewn paths through the sodden spurges and houseleeks bordering the path but as I climbed higher, the rain stopped and the clouds broke up to allow short bursts of sunshine to dispel the gloom.

As I climbed, I stopped to admire a rainbow over towards the west of the island and as I continued my climb, the drizzle stopped and the cloud lifted to reveal some excellent views into the nearby baŕrancos.

Although the cloud never completely cleared during the walk, it lifted enough to provide me with some superb views and towards the end, the sun put in an appearance causing me to remove layers to stop me from overheating.
