So every other friday we do a hike, my firt was whats called the highest point trail which takes you here to get a lovely view of... clouds. a. The highest point - somewhere
a. The highest point - somewhere




Two weeks later we were back at the highest point, but that was only 2 hours into what turned out to be an 8 hour odyssey of mud, macheteing, sliding, falling and generally getting a bit stinky.
This time the view had turned to this:
d. better this time
d. better this time
b. At last the view!
b. At last the view!


c All at the top
c All at the top





Then for 6 further hours we trekked around the perimeter whichwas reallygood fun buthard going, we had to cutour way through trails at timesslie down mudbanks, walk through swamps. At onepoint we crossed ontotheneighbours land which has basially all been cut down,ad the difference is unbelievable - reallymake u realise why youre doing what youre doing.
Anyhoo, heressome photo fromthe trek:

AL
The insect rights committee have expressed grave concrns that the mozzies rights are being contravened. However since they are ecdor mozzies they do not come under the jurastiction of siad committeee. i am also digging planting and hoeing in very humid conditions so am trying my best to replicate your situation. Climbing to the top of the Gnoll cascades next week but not cycling down (yet). Life is obviuosly very intersting and hard but very rewarding I guess, some god looking companions to go hiking with (far better than mine) and the footie team must be the best looking yet. have fun Pob lwc
