Everyone wants to enjoy a vacation or a simple getaway and relax. Sometimes, you plan in advance so that everything goes smoothly. Unfortunately, many aspects are beyond our control, no matter how hard we try to be cautious. One of these aspects is the weather, which often ruins the days of campers, travelers, and passersby. Even on Reddit, there are all sorts of examples of the weather messing up a perfect sunny day with a thick mist.
Like what happened to the Redditor CampaignImpossible, who shares in his video how he and a group of hikers prepared to climb a mountain to see the fantastic view from the top. According to what OP writes in his video, this incredible accomplishment took them three hours. All so that when they reached the top, they could only see mist, not just any, a very thick one that only allowed them to see a couple of steps around them. This fog only ended at the high “platform” where the group was, just a few centimeters down, which would mean being surrounded by the almost impenetrable mist. Many other users empathized with CampaignImpossible and shared their own unfortunate experiences, such as:
This happened to me on Jungfrau in Switzerland. Spent a ton of money only to get up there and see grey. It was clear when I was about to go up, and clear when I got back down.

Undoubtedly, the weather is a troll and can repeat its joke several times. Just like this user commented:
Four times I’ve climbed Ben Nevis in Scotland and finally on the last hike up it was a crystal clear day and you can see for miles around, I felt vindicated.

There are always those who see bad weather as a challenge, turning a hike into a competition against the natural elements. Their resilience and determination can be genuinely inspiring.
I walked up it 2 sundays in a row with different friends to go up and go good views the first and terrible the second.

6 times I’ve been up that hill, and the day it was grey, with a mist so bad you couldn’t see 10 ft in front of you and I got the worst sunburn.
No one else got sun burn anywhere nearly as badly as me. The scottish weathers a real deviant.
Still, the recommendation is always to plan ahead and be cautious when doing any outdoor activity. However, if you experience any inconvenience with bad weather, like the thick mist in this Reddit story, try to look on the bright side and enjoy it as much as possible. Don’t forget to take any necessary protection, like sunscreen, to avoid sunburns or helmets if needed. You never know how nature will react.
