A stroll from Lausen to Sissach

We needed to be back in the late afternoon so that G could catch a flight. We wanted to climb. The forecast was for good weather, but maybe not warm enough for climbing shoes, so the original plan was to go and do the Brueggligrat. Then we discovered that, due to construction, the trains weren't running the whole way. Including the bus in the trip or going the long way around ended up being too much travel time, so we redid the plan and switched to the Gerstelgrat (would have been exactly one year since the last time). Then we got the tram times wrong in the morning and ended up at the SBB 5 minutes after the train left, with 55 minutes until the next one. So we just got on an S-Bahn towards Olten and made something up in the train.

We ended up doing a nice hike from Lausen to Sissach via the Sissacherflue. Extra training bonus for wearing the big boots (this is one for running shoes) and having the pack full of climbing gear. :-)
Thing neither of us remembered: you can see the Alps from the Sissacherflue.

Stats: 10.7km, 530m up, 490m down
