Something to avoid doing on a Sunday during the hunting season: a bullet struck the ground between me and my wife, who was a few metres behind me as we were climbing; this happened about fifty metres before the fork in the path through the undergrowth. Two shots were fired; I heard the bullet whistling past, and my wife saw the impact to her right on the embankment, sending a spray of earth into the air. The shots came from below; we spotted two hunters further down the slope. Then, further on, as we reached the plateau, we came across several hunters lying in wait, to whom we recounted our misadventure. Apart from that, it was a nice little walk to get some fresh air.
